The Final Cause As Principle Of Cognition And Principle In Nature

By George Sylvester Morris

Book Overview

""The Final Cause As Principle Of Cognition And Principle In Nature"" by George Sylvester Morris is a philosophical treatise that explores the concept of final causality, or the idea that things in the natural world have a purpose or end goal. Morris argues that this concept is not only applicable to human cognition, but also to the natural world itself. He delves into the history of final causality, tracing its roots back to ancient Greek philosophy and examining its place in the works of modern thinkers such as Immanuel Kant and Charles Darwin. Morris also explores the relationship between final causality and other philosophical concepts such as teleology and determinism, and considers its implications for fields such as biology and ethics.
