Wikipedia Wiktionary dictionary logo

  • A teleology is any philosophical account which holds that final causes exist in nature, meaning that design and purpose analogous to that found in human actions are inherent also in the rest of nature. The word comes from the Greek τέλος - telos, root: τελε-, "end, purpose. " Teleology was explored by Plato and Aristotle, by Saint Anselm around 1000 A.D.
