TOC right Will , in Western philosophy philosophical discussions, consonant with a common English usage, refers to a property of the mind, and an attribute of acts intention intentionally performed. Actions made according to a person s will are called willing or voluntary and sometimes pejoratively willful .

The will is in turn important within philosophy because a person s will is one of the most distinct parts of their 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 is the part which determines whether people act, at least when they act deliberately. One of the repeating questions discussed in the Western philosophical tradition since Christianization is the question of free will , and the related but more general notion of fate , which asks how will can be truly free if the actions of people have natural or divine causes which determinism determine ... whether people really cause their own acts.
