Inhaltsangabe

The Human Will: Its Functions And Freedom is a philosophical treatise written by Thomas Hughes and published in 1867. The book explores the nature of the human will and its relationship to freedom. Hughes argues that the will is a complex and multifaceted aspect of human consciousness, with both conscious and unconscious components.The book begins by examining the various theories of the will that have been proposed throughout history, from the ancient Greeks to the modern era. Hughes then goes on to explore the relationship between the will and other aspects of human consciousness, such as reason, emotion, and desire.One of the key themes of the book is the concept of freedom. Hughes argues that the will is not only capable of making choices, but that it also has the power to act freely. He explores the various factors that can influence the will, such as habit, education, and social conditioning, and argues that these factors can either enhance or limit our freedom.Throughout the book, Hughes draws on a wide range of philosophical and scientific sources to support his arguments. He also includes numerous examples and anecdotes to illustrate his points and make his ideas more accessible to the reader.Overall, The Human Will: Its Functions And Freedom is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of one of the most fundamental aspects of human consciousness.
