Hi Marco and All
I experience purpose. I act. There is no word to connect my act to my
experience. My own actions bewilder me; what I do is not what I wish to do,
but something which I hate. The spring of action bubbles from underneath.
I am sure others have the same experience. If I am dead I cannot act.
Freedom acknowledges purpose. If I want to talk aabout freedom, TELOS and
FREEDOM are connected. I hear a story and remember.
>From Marco:
from the Free On Line Dictionary of Philosophy (FOLDOP) :
=======================
TELOS
Greek term for the end, completion, purpose, or goal of any thing or
activity. According to Aristotle, this is the final cause which accounts for
the existence and nature of a thing. Following Wolff, modern philosophers
(often pejoratively) designate as teleological any explanation, theory, or
argument that emphasizes purpose.
