A Critical History of Greek Philosophy In other words, 'teleology' of this variety is dispelled by theories of evolution. The English Utilitarians, Volume II (of 3) James Mill But we must ask whether religion will be satisfied with “teleology” alone, or whether this is even the first requirement that it makes in regard to natural phenomena. Naturalism And Religion Nevertheless, the structural and functional teleology of the organism remained as apparently irrefutable testimony to the inworking of some principle other than that of mechanical necessity. The Approach to Philosophy This was a teleology which placed a designing mind at the back of the evolutionary process, and arranging it with a view to a preconceived end. Theism or Atheism The Great Alternative Secondly, his teleology turns out in the end to be only a new theory of mechanism. A Critical History of Greek Philosophy What the author is probably thinking of is an exaggerated and obsolete teleology, but that is not what seems to be the purport of the passage.

Zimmern, Percy Gardner, Sir Reginald Blomfield The common point of beginning and attack of all those who take a negative position against religion, is the rejection of teleology. The Theories of Darwin and Their Relation to Philosophy, Religion, and Morality But why in the world should we not accept a teleological principle, since it is clearly evident that the whole world of life is permeated by teleology, that is, by design and finality? At the Deathbed of Darwinism A Series of Papers Where the world process is informed with some singleness of plan, as teleology proposes, the parts are reciprocally necessary, and inseparable from the unity. The Approach to Philosophy It was plain that the commonly received teleology must be given up; but the idea of design or purpose was so associated in their minds with theological design that they avoided it altogether. Evolution, Old & New Or, the Theories of Buffon, Dr. Erasmus Darwin and Lamarck, as compared with that of Charles Darwin A "strange arrangement" must be admitted anyhow, and all who acknowledge teleology at all, must admit that the strange arrangement was designed. On the Genesis of Species Even the works of Darwin which, according to the opinion of these opponents of anthropomorphism, destroy anthropomorphism and teleology, are the most striking proof in favor of it.

Form and Function A Contribution to the History of Animal Morphology Energetics, it is true, may obtain a definite meaning for its central conception from the measurable behavior of external bodies, and a meaning that may be quite free from vitalism or teleology. The Approach to Philosophy We have come back to recognize the place of teleology. Old-Time Makers of Medicine The Story of The Students And Teachers of the Sciences Related to Medicine During the Middle Ages Such orderly evolution harmonizes with a teleology derived, not indeed from external nature directly, but from the mind of man. On the Genesis of Species At a time when the assault against teleology had just begun, this noble author perceived the whole importance and weight of these attacks, and most energetically defended teleology. The Theories of Darwin and Their Relation to Philosophy, Religion, and Morality His attitude to Darwinism is determined by his teleology. Form and Function A Contribution to the History of Animal Morphology Therefore throughout this essay I refer to design in the sense understood by the narrower forms of teleology, or as an immediate cause of the observed phenomena. The Scientific Evidences of Organic Evolution It was plain that the commonly received teleology must be given up; but the idea of design or purpose was so associated in their minds with theological design that they avoided it altogether.

Form and Function A Contribution to the History of Animal Morphology It is that Darwin rejects all teleology, or the doctrine of final causes. What is Darwinism? Final judgment on the rational value of a metaphysical system of teleology. A Candid Examination of Theism This assertion does not deliver us into the hands of teleology, but is based upon the idea that ontogeny and phylogeny are under the same law of growth. The Last Harvest For the view of the world which the antagonists of teleology construct out of this "mechanical" and "causal" view, they, as we have repeatedly seen, have invented the name "monism." The Theories of Darwin and Their Relation to Philosophy, Religion, and Morality This is simply a persisting relic of that teleology which used to see in Nature and history a premeditated goal to be reached by means of a process of continuous amelioration or progress. Socialism and Modern Science (Darwin, Spencer, Marx) His whole book is an argument against teleology. What is Darwinism? And this achievement of science, be it never forgotten, is an achievement of prodigious importance, effectually destroying, as it does, all vestiges of a scientific teleology. A Candid Examination of Theism In following Lamarck I am not disturbed by the bogey of teleology, or the ghost of mysticism. The Last Harvest In these directions, teleology of nature is infinitely superior to that of man. The Theories of Darwin and Their Relation to Philosophy, Religion, and Morality In the earliest dawn of recorded thought, teleology in some form or another has been the most generally accepted theory whereby the order of Nature is explained. Thoughts on Religion He urges the usual objections to teleology derived from undeveloped or useless organs, as web-feet in the upland goose and frigate-bird, which never swim. What is Darwinism? The question, therefore, I conceive to be, What amount of evidence is there in favour of this metaphysical system of teleology? A Candid Examination of Theism Moreover, Huxley did not believe that Darwin's views, rightly interpreted, "abolished teleology and eviscerated the argument from design." Thomas Henry Huxley; A Sketch Of His Life And Work The discovery of the general reign of the law of causality invalidates, as they say, the reign of the category of teleology; for the one category contradicts the other. The Theories of Darwin and Their Relation to Philosophy, Religion, and Morality Nature, as red in tooth and claw with ravin, is thus without question a large and general fact that must be considered by any theory of teleology which can be propounded. Thoughts on Religion And no doubt it is quite true the doctrine of evolution is the most formidable of all the commoner and coarser forms of teleology. What is Darwinism? And forasmuch as no competent judge at the present time can hesitate for one moment in answering this question, the argument from a proximate teleology must be regarded as no longer having any rational existence. A Candid Examination of Theism They only abolished that crude expression of teleology which supposed all structures among animals and plants to have been created in their present forms for their present purposes. Thomas Henry Huxley; A Sketch Of His Life And Work Only a single utterance of Darwin in a later publication seems to take a sceptical position in regard to teleology; compare below Part Second, Book I, Chapt. The Theories of Darwin and Their Relation to Philosophy, Religion, and Morality The teleology of Revelation supplements that of Nature, and so, to the spiritually minded man, they logically and mutually corroborate one another. Thoughts on Religion But it is necessary to remember that there is a higher teleology, which is not touched by the doctrine of evolution, but is actually based on the fundamental proposition of evolution. What is Darwinism? Thus, notwithstanding what Hamilton, Chalmers, and others have said, I cannot but feel that the ubiquitous action of general laws is, of all facts supplied by experience, the most cogent in its bearing upon teleology. A Candid Examination of Theism But in a wider sense there is no incongruity between evolution and teleology. Thomas Henry Huxley; A Sketch Of His Life And Work The reader will find it, in the second part, page 275, simply a little shorter and, as it seems to us, less clear, but as the only "correct teleology" which Lange professes. The Theories of Darwin and Their Relation to Philosophy, Religion, and Morality I have in the last few pages been discussing the doctrine of purposes and ends, teleology, but I have said nothing of the significance of that doctrine for Theism. An Introduction to Philosophy It will be observed that all these objections have reference to the denial of teleology on the part of Mr. Darwin. What is Darwinism? Now, with these significations clearly understood, it will be seen that the forms of teleology which we have hitherto considered belong entirely to the scientific class. A Candid Examination of Theism There is a wider teleology," Huxley wrote, "which is not touched by the doctrine of evolution, but is actually based on the fundamental proposition of evolution. Thomas Henry Huxley; A Sketch Of His Life And Work We still have to mention two monstrosities which, as it seems to us, necessarily result from the rejection of teleology, although the opponents of teleology contest the fact. The Theories of Darwin and Their Relation to Philosophy, Religion, and Morality This is a plain issue; either the world shows a teleology or it does not. Outspoken Essays It is time to turn to the exposition of Darwinism by its avowed advocates, in proof of the assertion that it excludes all teleology. What is Darwinism? Hence the term "scientific teleology" is without question applicable to the Paleyerian system. A Candid Examination of Theism Her grandfather, Moses Stuart, was Professor of Sacred Literature at Andover, a teacher of Greek and Latin, and a believer in that stern school of theology and teleology. Memories and Anecdotes For the whole idea of higher and lower belongs to the category of teleology. The Theories of Darwin and Their Relation to Philosophy, Religion, and Morality And unless we admit an inner teleology as a determining factor in growth, many facts even in physiology are hard to explain. Outspoken Essays His testimony that Mr. Darwin's doctrine excludes all teleology, or final causes, is explicit. What is Darwinism? Thus it is that scientific teleology in any form is now and for ever obsolete. A Candid Examination of Theism The law of unconscious teleology means that when an end has been effectively suggested to it, the unconscious mind will always tend to work towards its realization. The Life of the Spirit and the Life of To-day I have seen evolution betray one of its greatest secrets to the soul of man—an immanent teleology, an invisible direction towards deeper consciousness, an intelligent movement towards greater understanding. Painted Windows Studies in Religious Personality From the time of Bacon, the main object of speculation was to disrupt the scholastic teleology. Political Thought in England from Locke to Bentham His distinction between a higher and lower teleology is of no account in this discussion. What is Darwinism? But not so with what I have termed metaphysical teleology. A Candid Examination of Theism Mysticism is often associated with pantheism, but the religious character of Mysticism views everything from the standpoint of teleology, while pantheism generally stops at causality…. Christian Mysticism Associated words: teleology, teleologist, teleological. designing, n. artful, wily, crafty, subtle, politic, Machiavelian disingenuous. Putnam's Word Book This tendency or teleology demands that the movements of the reals should be in such a manner that they may render some service to the souls either in the direction of enjoyment or salvation. A History of Indian Philosophy, Volume 1 What is the teleology to which, he says, Mr. Darwin has given the death-blow, the extracts given above clearly show. What is Darwinism? Hence I conceive that the acceptance or the rejection of metaphysical teleology as probable will depend entirely upon individual habits of thought. A Candid Examination of Theism In this way the dualism between mechanism and teleology is reconciled. The German Classics of the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries, Volume 05 Masterpieces of German Literature Translated into English Materialism and teleology; elementary short-span actions summing themselves 'blindly,' or far foreseen ideals coming with effort into act. A Pluralistic Universe Hibbert Lectures at Manchester College on the Present Situation in Philosophy For a being possessing intellectual intuition the antithesis between possibility and actuality, between necessity and contingency, between mechanism and teleology, would disappear along with that between thought and intuition. History of Modern Philosophy From Nicolas of Cusa to the Present Time "According to teleology," he says, "each organism is like a rifle bullet fired straight at a mark; according to Darwin, organisms are like grapeshot, of which one hits something and the rest fall wide." What is Darwinism? Distinction between a scientific and a metaphysical teleology. A Candid Examination of Theism As a conception of passive mechanical segregation and survival, it was a most timely and potent substitute for the naive teleology involved in the idea of special creation. Popular Science Monthly Oct, Nov, Dec, 1915 — Volume 86 Once thus on the downgrade of dualistic teleology, Kant afterwards arrived at his untenable metaphysical views of "God, Freedom, and Immortality." Monism as Connecting Religion and Science A Man of Science As doctrines mechanism and teleology are irreconcilable and impossible; as rules or maxims of inquiry they are compatible, and the one as indispensable as the other. History of Modern Philosophy From Nicolas of Cusa to the Present Time Professor Janet does not seem to have much objection to the doctrine of evolution in itself; it is the denial of teleology that he regards as the fatal element of Mr. Darwin's theory. What is Darwinism? Examination of the question as to whether the metaphysical system of teleology is really destitute of all rational support. A Candid Examination of Theism It would be difficult to conceive a more thorough refutation of teleology than is furnished by the fact that all the higher animals have these rudimentary organs. The Evolution of Man — Volume 1 The re-introduction of teleology into organic life, which to me seems hardly, if at all, less important than the ‘Life and Habit’ theory. Life and Habit The teleology of conscience is very simple, and its genesis and development purely natural. Problems of Conduct He says little, however, in reference to teleology, except in one paragraph, in which we read: "M. Flourens cannot imagine an unconscious selection; it is for him a contradiction in terms." What is Darwinism? Summary of the Theist's pleading, and judgment that it fairly removes from the hypothesis of metaphysical teleology the charge of the latter being gratuitous. A Candid Examination of Theism The important point however, in considering Bergson in relation to Religion and Theology, is his marked objection to teleology. Bergson and His Philosophy Darwinian teleology, however, raises questions like this, and Mr. Darwin not only propounded the riddle but solved it. Darwiniana; Essays and Reviews Pertaining to Darwinism We recognize a duty at sight without realizing its teleology. Problems of Conduct As to Mr. Darwin's theory, it is obvious from the passages already quoted that he considers its characteristic feature is not evolution, nor even natural selection, but the denial of teleology, or of intelligent control. What is Darwinism? We have now heard the pleading on both sides of the ultimate issue to which it is possible that the argument from teleology can ever be reduced. A Candid Examination of Theism Yet in a limited and special sense he finds teleology to be not inconsistent with morphology. Life and Letters of Thomas Henry Huxley — Volume 2 Finally, Darwinian teleology has the special advantage of accounting for the imperfections and failures as well as for successes. Darwiniana; Essays and Reviews Pertaining to Darwinism Similarly, all that exists psychologically is a certain felt pressure, certain emotions and ideas and pushes whose teleology is not realized. Problems of Conduct Could he have had his way the lad would have grown up with an impossible combination of qualities, blending the enthusiasm of modern research with a spirit of expansive teleology. Born in Exile In this way the transcendental enlargement of our rational cognition would be, not the cause, but merely the effect of the practical teleology which pure reason imposes upon us. The Critique of Pure Reason The old teleology was more useful to science than to religion, and the design-naturalists ought to be gratefully remembered by Biologists. Darwin and Modern Science Now, the question is, Does this involve the destruction or only the reconstruction of our consecrated ideas of teleology?
