	Suppose someone were a voluntarist and particularly inclined to the mental constellation of monadism. Then he would not, like Schopenhauer, base the world on a unitary soul which is actually will, but he would base the world on many monads which, however, are will beings. This world of monadological voluntarism was developed in the most beautiful, perceptive and, I would say, intimate way by the Austrian poet-philosopher Hamerling. How did the peculiar doctrine that you have of Hamerling in the "Atomistics of the Will" come about? Through the fact that his soul was voluntaristically attuned and that he preferably exposed himself to the spiritual constellation of monadism. If we had time, we could cite examples of every mood of the soul in every constellation. They can be found in the world.\|151\|53f}}		Suppose someone were a voluntarist and particularly inclined to the mental constellation of monadism.

	'''Voluntarism''' (from {{Latin\|''voluntas''}} ''will''), also named '''thelism''', the philosophy of the will, is a philosophical direction that emphasises the primacy of the [[will]] over mere intellectual activity for all social and psychological processes.

{{GZ|We can study a third mood of the soul that makes worldviews, for example, in Schopenhauer. While Hegel's soul, when it looks at the world, is so tuned that first of all in this Hegel soul everything that is concept in the world arises as logism, Schopenhauer, through the special mood of his soul, grasps everything in the soul that is volitional. For him, the forces of nature are will, the hardness of the stone is will, everything that is reality is will. This comes from the particular mood of his soul. Now such a worldview of the will, such a worldview mood of the will, can in turn be regarded like a planet that passes through all twelve spiritual zodiacal images. I will call this world-view mood voluntarism. It is the third world-view mood. Schopenhauer was a voluntarist, and in his soul he was preferably constituted in such a way that he exposed himself to the spiritual zodiac of psychism. Thus arose Schopenhauer's peculiar metaphysics of the will: voluntarism in the spiritual constellation of psychism.

Suppose someone were a voluntarist and particularly inclined to the mental constellation of monadism. Then he would not, like Schopenhauer, base the world on a unitary soul which is actually will, but he would base the world on many monads which, however, are will beings. This world of monadological voluntarism was developed in the most beautiful, perceptive and, I would say, intimate way by the Austrian poet-philosopher Hamerling. How did the peculiar doctrine that you have of Hamerling in the "Atomistics of the Will" come about? Through the fact that his soul was voluntaristically attuned and that he preferably exposed himself to the spiritual constellation of monadism. If we had time, we could cite examples of every mood of the soul in every constellation. They can be found in the world.|151|53f}}
