Mechanism and Teleology in Hegel’s Logic
Main Article Content
Abstract
How should one understand the claim that “Teleology is the truth of Mechanism” advanced by Hegel in the Logic? It certainly opposes Kant’s position in denying the possibility that what seems to be teleological is only mechanical, but not in the sense of a dogmatic commitment to the reality of natural ends or in the sense of a refutation of mechanicism as in Fichte’s radicalization of transcendental philosophy. I examine in this paper which alternatives remain open once these are discarded.
