About this book
Monte Ransome Johnson takes up the most controversial parts of Aristotle's natural philosophy, namely his teleology. The book works through questions that have divided readers: whether teleology concerns causation or explanation, and whether it rules out mechanism, determinism or materialism.
Other questions concern the scope of the idea. The book asks whether teleology is about the flourishing of individual organisms or about a final purpose for everything, and whether it applies only to living things or to the cosmos as a whole.
