20. Action / A. Definition of Action / 4. Action as Movement

4169	Every true act of will is also at once and without exception a movement of the body [Schopenhauer]
	Full Idea: Every true act of will is also at once and without exception a movement of the body.
	From: Arthur Schopenhauer (The World as Will and Idea [1819], II 018)
	A reaction: The word 'act' seems to beg the question (as does 'true'!). I am no longer sure that I know what an act of will is. Hobbes says there is no such thing.
