I am curious about the connection between willing (the Will, as Hannah Arendt, Nietzsche, Heidegger et. al. use it) and intention (the prerequisite of mens rea needed in law before convicting someone).
Are there nuances in the meaning of both?
… look at the world today… obviously the will and intention can be manipulated.
Let’s not leave out a necessary element between will and intention : power, without a greater power, will and intention collapse into a common simile, a false identity, that, relegating power with human will. But power to intend even a slight project, multiplies n-fold, through the power of the WILL.
Celine, I just noticed it, we joined ILP exactly the same day, month, and year. -Just an observance.
Hello dear! indeed. You are a good poster on here… 
do we have to make a donation to get a title?
Well I don’t know, but if a title has to be bought, the word will certainly get out, thereby defeating its purpose.
As for being a constant poster, I don’t think it makes much difference here, whether one is here merely to twiddle away time, or working on a thesis. It’s pretty much irrelevant, if you were to ask me.
I see the same month and year, but different days. jerkey mon dec, 7 and celine tues dec, 8.
Darling, that’s not possible. Please look again.
Still different.
Unless my eyes deceive me.
Or, Your eyes deceive You.
I wish my eyes deceived me right now, but no tropical beach, just that difference.
I have so much free work (of mine) on the net that I rarely consider donating… but ILP is a good forum
I agree totally, this is a good site, good people and all, no complaint from this angle. Cheers.
008 … since you are seeking a philosophical debate/discussion of the topic you introduced … and I’m not schooled in philosophy … feel free to ignore this simpleton’s thoughts. 
My gut reaction to your post …
-
Sigh! … oh the folly of language.
-
Wow! … the potency of language.
-
Is there a contradiction between 1) and 2) above
-
Subtle profundity

“The bird of ‘time’ has a short way to fly” … heard that line in a movie I watched last night … apparently written by a Persian poet in antiquity. Your statement and this line are both as “clear as mud.”
i think will is a feeling
I mean Willing in the sense of Free Will – the way Hume, Kant, Nietzsche talk about it. The complete autonomy you have in your thoughts and actions.
Intention,as in mens rea – the legal term we use and attribute to human beings before convicting them of a crime.
Are the two – Free Will and Intention – interchangeable? That was my question.
