Reason Vs Will

- Reason is the faculty of using logic and principles of consistency to draw conclusions, while will is the power of choice and desire that drives action. - Philosophers like Kant see reason as providing a priori principles, while Aquinas sees reason as electing what is morally binding. For Sartre, free will means being responsible for one's choices. - The key difference is that reason involves logical thinking and investigation, while will involves motivation and determination to achieve what one wills or wants.
