Talk:Voluntarism (philosophy)

Opening paragraph from article moved here
I am moving the opening paragraph, as it was prior to my edits today, here to the Talk Page. The first part of the sentence I have basically reworded in the article. The content of the second half of the sentence can be added back in, where appropriate in the article, if we can determine the meaning intended by the editor, in more plain English.

Voluntarism is the school of thought, which regards the will to the difference of the intellectualism (as contrast) and emotionalism as basic facts of the realization (i.e. as epistemological voluntarism) or as a nature, cause of the world-whole (metaphysical voluntarism of Arthur Schopenhauer) and attributes a thinking and feeling to the will (''psychological voluntarism is desire against ones will, example: I would do anything for that apple)

Propose rename this Voluntarism (Philosophy)
Because there are both epistemological and metaphysical examples and people will get confused thinking epistemology is a subset of metaphysics which it wasn't last time I looked :-) Carol Moore 01:48, 27 December 2007 (UTC)CarolMooreDC talk

More Incoherence
Regarding this:


 * This putting out of the drive-detention-vital dynamics has influenced Friedrich Nietzsche (as will to power), Eduard von Hartmann, Sigmund Freud and the philosophy of life.

...Huh? Can we rephrase it in comprehensible English?65.213.77.129 (talk) 14:37, 26 September 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.213.77.129 (talk)

Expanding Article
I wish someone with a good foundation in philosophy could expand this article. It just seems like an introduction without a real body explaining what Voluntarism is, comparing it to other philosophical systems, how other philosophers have understood the concept, etc. It seems like a first draft of what could be a substantial piece with more information added to it.69.125.134.86 (talk) 01:26, 25 February 2013 (UTC)
 * And also objections to this dangerous and influential philosophy.85.76.66.162 (talk) 13:23, 17 June 2017 (UTC)
