This paper presents a critical analysis of Wittgenstein's concept of will in the Tractatus and the Notebooks.
First, I argue that the concept of will in the Tractatus leads to some problems concerning the link between metaphysics, ethics and psychology. But, secondly, I want to show that the problem of the will is developed at length in the Notebooks, where the influence of Schopenhauer�s philosophy is quite strong. Finally, the aim of the paper is to argue for the continuity of Wittgenstein�s conception of will and action, as long as the Philosophical Investigations seem to assume some statements made in the Notebooks.
