Averroes Politics and Will

I'll just make two quotations to stress the link on will and politics,
one from Averroes and one from L.Wittgenstein:
"We say: This science, known as practical science, differs
essencially from the theoretical sciences. Now this is clear
inasmuch as its subject differs from the subject of each and every one
of the theoretical sciences and its priciples differ from their
principles. This is because the subject of this science is volitional
things, the doings of which is within our power, and the principle of
these things is WILL and choice;"
Averroes on Plato's Republic
trans. Ralph Lerner, Cornel University Press 1975.,p.3.
(Capital letters in WILL are mine.)

To understand the political aims and thoughts of Muslims which I
observe that getting quite important for the US and her Allies
nowadays, one has to master the use of the "UMMAT,MELLAT,DEEN,QAWM" as
they are established in the Quran.

L.Wittgenstein said: "If you understand the workings of WILL in a

language, then you understand the language."
