Hi,
Catherine, you might have a look at papers on David Hume by Marc Diaye and
me in EJHET 2005 and 2010. See also Robert Sugden's reply in EJHET 2005.
Marc and I explicitely distinguished desire, related to preferences, and
will,
related to choice.
It seems to me obvious that since it rests on a philosophical distinction
between desire and will, such an approach could be fruitful concerning, for
instance, sensualist philosophers like Condillac and, more generally,
preclassical authors.
Best wishes,
