will (plural wills)
Broadly, the human will is the faculty of the human mind by which we decide or conceive of ourselves as deciding upon and initiating action.
From our current scientific understanding of the human brain and its environment the human mind may be defined as the process of a trained living human brain interacting with the rest of the human body, which is interacting with its physical, social and cultural environment. From our instincts and these interactions we develop prototypes in our brains which we deploy in reaching decisions and initiating action. These prototypes are continually being shaped and reshaped by our interactions with the environment and other prototypes in our mind.
For convenience, these prototypes may be grouped under several meta-prototypes which reflect the basic needs of human beings. These meta-prototypes comprise the Will to Integration, the Will to Meaning, the Will to Power, the Will to Love, the Will to Excel, the Will to Animalism, the Will to Sensualism, the Will to Exist and the Will to Dependence. They may be remembered by the mnemonic IMPLEASED.
Accordingly, the human will may be regarded as being many-sided and dynamic.
