In the more complex forms of voluntary action, we find comparison of ends and of means to effect those ends. Some psychologists, for instance Wundt, mark off such acts as selective and distinguish them from the simpler type in which there is no conscious selection of the act to be done. But in all voluntary action there is selection between alternatives, though in the simpler types the alternatives are only action and inactivity. '^ The transition from merely considering an object as possible t...o deciding, or willing it to be real; the change from the fluctuating to the stable personal attitude concerning it ; from the * don't care ' state of mind, to that in which * we mean business,' is one of the most familiar things in life," as James says ; but it is, as he goes on to say, ** something which we cannot translate into simpler terms." VOLITION. 251 ** Effort of attention is the essential phenomena of Will," says the same writer. But he adds, that along with this goes the " effort to consent to something to which our attention is not quite complete." By the effort to consent he appears to mean the adoption of the movement or the end ; the peculiar and unanalyz- able consciousness which accompanies the acceptance of a certain object of desire (or course of action) as one which we will make our own.^ One feature in all choice is the dismissal of the rival objects of desire or courses of action.
