Thanks for the comment Vlad, and I think it's very fair that a concept that is well-defined won't be outdated. Personally, I find many well-defined concepts actually end up entailing an "openness" that makes it possible for them to be updated without losing their original essence. So for example, if I will ice-cream, I can also will this while at the same time seeing it as an act of participation in sociological forces that make me want ice-cream. Is this a violation of freedom? Not if I choose to accept this determination as necessary for my freedom to be possible at all. In this way, I could see the classical understanding sublated into "will as autopoesis," like Tom stresses. It's kind of like Hegel does with Aristotle's "A Is A"; it's not that Aristotle was wrong, but that this logic needed to be brought into a consideration of time and movement to realize its fullest potential. I hope that makes sense, and thanks again!
