volition  

Définition

  • The term volition may refer most simply to a presumed human ability to freely choose one's actions, or to the ability to freely choose one's goals and then to act upon achieving those goals, or to the act of exercising free will. The existence of volition is the premise on which most modern criminal justice systems are based in that these systems generally seek to punish the choice to commit the act as much or more than the act itself.
