insatiable _will_ acts destructively upon the organism unless either (_a_) the whole life, in its efforts to attain unity (tendency to adapt means to end), produces other activities requiring satisfaction (_crises et lyses_) which hold that _will_ in check--called decisive (_crises completæ_) when quite successful; _crises incompletæ_, when only partially so--or (_b_) some other stimulus (medicine) produces another _will_ which represses the diseased one. If we place this in one and the same category with the _will_ of which we have become conscious through our own representations, and bear in mind that here there can be no question of more or less distant resemblance, we gain the conviction that we have grasped the fundamental conception of the _one_ unlimited, therefore indivisible, life which, according to its different manifestations in various more or less endowed and exercised organs, is just as able to make hair grow on the human body as to combine the most sublime representations. We see that the most violent passion--unsatisfied _will_--may be checked by more or less strong excitement," &c. &c.--P. 18: "The determining element--_this organic will without representation_, this tendency to preserve the organism as a unity--is induced by outward temperature to modify its activity now in the same, now in a remoter organ. Every manifestation of life, however, whether in health or in disease, is a manifestation of the _organic will: this will determines vegetation:_ in a healthy condition, in harmony with the unity of the whole; in an unhealthy one ... it is induced _not to will_ in harmony with that unity" ...--P. 23: "Cold suddenly applied to the skin suppresses its function (chill); cold drinks check the _organic will_ in the digestive organs and thereby intensify that of the skin and produce perspiration; just so with the diseased _organic will_: cold checks cutaneous eruptions," &c. &c.--P. 33: "Fever is the complete participation of the whole vital process in a diseased _will_, _i.e._ it is to the entire vital process what inflammation is to particular organs--the effort of our vitality to form something definite, in order to content the diseased _will_ and remove the noxious element.--We call this process of formation _crisis_ or _lysis_ (turning-point or release). The first perception of the pernicious element which causes the diseased _will_, affects the individuality just in the same way as a noxious element apprehended by our senses, before we have brought to clear representation the entire relation in which it stands to our individuality and the means of removing it. It creates terror and its consequences, a standstill of the vital process in the _parenchyma_, especially in the parts directed towards the outer world; in the skin, and in all the motor muscles belonging to the entire individuality (outer body): shuddering, chills, trembling, pains in the limbs, &c. &c.
