About

The word 意志 is formed by combining two independent, ancient characters, each representing a key facet of the mind's directed force. 意 (yì) conveys the concepts of idea, intention, and meaning, the internal thought and purpose. 志 (zhì) represents aspiration, resolve, and determination, the focused, enduring aim. Their fusion creates a composite concept greater than the sum of its parts, synthesizing internal intention with outward-directed resolve to fully embody the integrated idea of "willpower" or "volition".
