You can discuss whether a man's act in jumping over a cliff was directed towards happiness; you cannot discuss whether it was derived from will.

Of course it was.

You can praise an action by saying that it is calculated to bring pleasure or pain to discover truth or to save the soul.

But you cannot praise an action because it shows will; for to say that is merely to say that it is an action.

By this praise of will you cannot really choose one course as better than another.
