Expulse and Will

Because Impulse is fundamentally outward-directed, 'Expulse' might be a more appropriate designation of the process. But, the proper traditional term for it is 'Will', which has a accrued some extrinsic or misleading baggage over the past few centuries. Will is essentially the effort to publicly execute a private command--a process of Exteriorization--regardless of the content of the command, and any processes that contribute to the determination of that content precede the execution of it. Hence, Will is in itself neither legislative nor elective, as Kant has it. Furthermore, it is a concrete process, issuing forth from a conscious source, in specific circumstances. In other words, Will is not the universal non-mental force that Schopenhauer has it as. Finally, the very execution of a command surpasses its antecedent circumstances. Hence, it is an exercise of power and a discharge of strength from the outset, not at the termination of the process, as Nietzsche's Will to Power seems to imply.
