Talk:Conation

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Is This Term Synonymous with Motivation or Drive?

The article says that conation is one of the three aspects of mind, along with cognition and affect. I've heard of the first two concepts but not this one. Is this term essentially sysnonymous with motivation or drive? If there is a difference in meaning, is it subtle or is it significant? EPM (talk) 13:53, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
