    As opposed to a common and traditional understanding of the will‚ which perceives it as a causal force that requires employment on the part of the agent to be active (e.g. I will myself to behave morally)‚ Nietzsche’s definition of the will (in relation to the agent) is more comprehensive and intrinsic. Rather than it just being an expression of our desires (e.g. I will because I want to) and an extension of ourselves‚ Nietzsche defines the will as a part of our very substance (e.g. I am my will)
