Will, Voluntary Action, Dualism

'Voluntary' is most commonly used in jurisprudential contexts, in opposition to 'involuntary'. However, the sharpness of that categorial polarity belies the indefiniteness of at least most of the cases under consideration, nor of behavior, in general, which is often similarly subjected to traditional 'Freedom-Determinism' dualism. Efficiency of classification might be justified in legal procedures, but the oversimplification of Philosophical issues is at least sometimes intellectually lazy. A theory of Experience that fails to recognize that actions can be more or less voluntary reflects a greater fidelity to some conceptual scheme, perhaps Manichean, than to the facts themselves--especially the plain fact that Experience is comprised of a combination of factors, including Will.
