Will concerns method of attaining an already posited end, not choosing the end itself

Evidence

We shall therefore use the term cause for the objective apprehension of a determined situation as this situation is revealed in the light of a certain end as being able to serve as the means for attaining this end. — Jean-Paul Sartre, Being and Nothingness, 1086 (#expands, via linked claim)

This choice has an exemplary general value, we should even say, a universal methodological value if we could at least agree on surrendering the concept of method to a Hegelian mutation. It should not suffice then to hold method, as Hegel himself thought, for something other than a system of predetermined rules or regulations, but as the very experience of the path tracing its own history; we should also interpret this experience from the motifs of plasticity and the expression ‘to see (what is) coming’. — Catherine Malabou, The Future of Hegel, 86 (#complicates, via linked claim)
