We make wills. We exert our willpower.

We are willful at times but merely willing at others. Moreover, all of us have wondered whether we are really free, and whether being free means being able to do what we want or being free from wants and desires or something else entirely. That is, all of us have wrestled with the issue of free will in our informal, non-scholarly ways. These are among the issues that Eva Brann puts at the center of Un-Willing. She takes the whole range of questions about the will that are implicit in our everyday lives and everyday thinking, articulates them, shows us how they have been dealt with within the philosophic tradition and contemporary scientific thought, and then wrestles with them herself, as you can see in this sneak peek.

The collected work of Heraclitus comprises passages. Brann sets out to understand Heraclitus as he is found and particularly in his keyword, Logos: the order that is the cosmos. But essentially everyone must pester the supposed obscurantist until he opens up. Heraclitus is no less and no more pregnantly dark than an oracle…The upshot is that no interpretation has prevailed; every question is wide open.

What feeling did swinging high induce? Was it an exultation of the body or an exhilaration of the soul? When Zeke wanted to feel his feelings, was there a difference between the general feeling, the mere consciousness of being affected, and his particular feelings, the distinguishable affects? Or is there? Brann poses these questions in light of what the great philosophers have thought and written about the passions and feelings. In it, Miss Brann considers nature, the arts, friendship, education, traveling, politics, time, modernity, customs, and country as she looks at herself as a sample soul.

Pester them until they open up.

Leave well enough alone and think along a parallel path. Do other people get over their youth?
