vilja
Sign in to saveAlso known as volition
faculty of the mind which intentionally selects the strongest desire from among the various desires present
Your will is your mental ability to choose which of your competing desires to act on—essentially, what lets you pick the strongest one when you want different things at the same time. It matters because it determines whether you follow through on your choices or get pulled in different directions by conflicting wants.

Vilja eller volition kallas den mentala kapacitet som innebär att man utövar medveten kontroll över sitt tänkande och handlande. Begreppet är centralt inom filosofin, psykologin och kognitionsvetenskapen. Förutom oenigheten kring hur man ska definiera begreppet råder också oenighet kring hur människor får kunskap om sina egna viljeattityder. En annan central frågeställning inom det filosofiska studiet av viljan är dess förhållande till känslor och förnuftet. Involverar känslor alltid viljeattityder? Är viljan bestämd av förnuftet?
