Will, Evaluation, Empowerment

Will is the principle of Self-Activation in Experience, according to the model being developed here. Hence, the evaluation of an action in terms of vols expresses how much comparative self-energization it entails, thereby potentially serving as the basis a decision procedure. The vol can thus be instrumental in maximizing personal empowerment. The heuristic quantification of action is, of course, a central feature of the most prominent Ethical doctrines. However, in those, Motility is typically either suppressed, constrained, or subordinated to some ulterior purpose, by intellectual processes. In contrast, volitional evaluation liberates Motility, by seeking the greatest possible scope for it.
