Excerpt from The Unity of Will: Studies of an Irrationalist Soul, i.e. The inner spiritual (geistiger) life of man, to be Thought; of always placing Thought first, while assigning a subordinate place to Will, which has been regarded as a mere secondary product, consequent upon thought. With him, on the other hand, the primary reality of every existence is Will, by which he understands not only wish and resolve in the narrow sense, but all striving, desiring, shunning, hoping, fearing, loving, hating, in short everything which makes up our personal weal and woe, joy and sorrow-all being merely modifications or affections of a will, either for or against. Of these Intellect is the instrument, and therefore secondary and dependent, a mere aceiolens of our existence. The will is master, intellect its busy and accomplished servant while the intellect is laboriously searching and balancing, endeavouring from innumerable data by difficult combinations, to extract a result which seems to accord with the interest of the will, the latter is idly resting, to enter when all is ready, like a Sultan into his divan, and pronounce its monotonous approved' or disapproved, ' always the same in character, though varying in degree. And so we see the Will remaining in undiminished force through life; as strong in infancy as in manhood; still vigorous and determined in the decrepitude of age, when the faculties are broken.
