In this sphere we have a special name for those thoughts which influence us directly and lead us to action: we call such thoughts Motives.

We also have a special name for the sort of action which is prompted by clearly-thought-out motives: Will.

But in spite of this emphasis given to certain actions of ours as springing from what is called Will, we must be careful to see that Will is not a new faculty, or capacity, added to mind, and which is different from the ways of action which the mind had before the Will arose.

Will is only a name for the action upon suggestions of conduct which are so clear in our minds that we are able to deliberate upon them, acting only after some reflection, and so having a sense that the action springs from our own choice.

The real reasons for action, however, are thoughts, in this case, just as in the earlier cases they were.
