TOC right Will in philosophy philosophical discussions, like generally in the English language, refers to the desire of an individual, and the acts done when such decisions are put into effect. Actions made according to a person s will are called willing or voluntary . In general the word will does not refer to one desire amongst many however, but the end result, or in other words the choice, decision, or determination which people come to about what they want. The will is in turn important within philosophy because a person s will is one of the most distinct and recognizable aspects or parts of any individual s human mind, along with reason and nous understanding . It is one of the things which makes a person who they are, and it is especially important in ethics , because it the part which determines how people act, at least when they act deliberately. One of the repeating questions discussed throughout all periods of philosophical history is the question of free will which asks how will can be truly free if the actions of people have natural or divine causes which determinism determine them, but which are not really under the control of people. The question is directly connected to discussions of what freedom is, and also the problem of evil , because it brings into question whether people really cause their own acts.
