Teleology: A History
Jeffrey K. McDonough (ed.)
New York, NY, United States of America: Oxford University Press (2020)
Abstract
This volume explores the intuitive yet puzzling concept of teleology as it has been treated by philosophers from the time of Plato and Aristotle to the present day. Philosophical discussions are enlivened and contextualized by reflections on the implications of teleology in medicine, art, poetry, and music.Author's Profile
