It is serviceable, in introducing this discussion, to distinguish between two conceptions of the will, the broad and the narrow. In the narrow, and perhaps usual, sense of the term, the will is identified with deliberation ending in conscious choice. But in the broad sense of the term, the will is consciousness in action. To quote Professor Angell: "The whole mind active, this is will."" The broad sense of the term is urged upon us in view of the unity of consciousness, and the consequent inability to find in consciousness a distinct faculty of choosing independent of the other forms of conscious action.
