Philosophical naturalism asserts that there are no su ...

Teleology - Extrinsic and intrinsic finality: Encyclopedia II - Teleology - Extrinsic and intrinsic finality

Teleology depends on the concept of a final cause or purpose inherent in all beings. There are two types of such causes, intrinsic finality and extrinsic finality. Extrinsic finality consists of a being realizing a purpose outside the being realizing it, for the utility and welfare of other beings.

Teleology - Extrinsic and intrinsic finality: Encyclopedia II - Teleology - Classical Greek teleology

Plato summarized the argument for teleology as follows in Phaedo, arguing that it is error to fail to distinguish between the ultimate Cause, and the mere means by which the ultimate Cause acts: "Imagine not being able to distinguish the real cause from that without which the cause would not be able to act as a cause. It is what the majority appear to do, like people groping in the dark; they call it a cause, thus giving it a name that does not belong to it.
