Philosophy -- History
23 – Teleology is the doctrine that things exist for some
purpose. A teleological cause, which is the same as “final
cause” or “end,” is the purpose involved in an action.
It is contrasted with mechanical or efficient cause.
A trolley car is moving and a man runs to catch it.
Electricity is the mechanical cause of the movement of the
car. The purpose of the man is the teleological cause of
his running; the strength in his legs is the mechanical or
efficient cause of his running.
24 – Atoms differ primarily in form (ἰδέα); size is referred in
part to form.
