The Idea of the Will Implies Agency and Choice Between Possible Actions. It Also Implies a Kind of Determination to Carry Out an Action Once It has Been Chosen; a Posi-Tive Drive or Desire to Accomplish an Action. The Saying “Where There'sa Will There'sa Way” Expresses This Notion as a Piece of Folk Wisdom. These Are Pragmatically and Experientially Informed Dimensions of the Idea. But in Ad-Dition, the Concept of the Will as It Appears in a Number of Cross-Cultural and Historical Contexts Implies a Further Framework, the Framework of Cosmol.

Willful Souls : Dreaming and the Dialectics of Self-Experience Among the Tzotzil Maya of Highland Chiapas, Mexico.Kevin P. Groark
As the Epigraph Suggests, in West-Ern Ethnopsychology the Ultimate Responsibility for the Dream is Understood to Lie Within the Mind of the Dreamer.

[REVIEW]C. Jason Throop
It is No Easy Job to Situate a Discus-Sion of the Will Within Anthropology, Which is Perhaps Why the Editors of This Volume Chose the Title They Did. It is a Subject Some of Us Might Want to Move Toward, but There is No Sense of Arrival. Even the Paths Toward It Are Dauntingly Elusive. One is Either Faced with Too Much Relevant Literature or Too Little. On the Too Little Side, There has Been Scant Explicit Consideration of Willing as a Cultural Phenomenon, in Contrast to Philosophy and Psychology Where ... [REVIEW]Moral Willing & As Narrative
