Teleology Through Time: From Aristotle to AI and the Persistence of Purpose

We trace the stubborn staying power of teleology—from Aristotle’s four causes to modern biology’s teleonomy, with stops in physics and the AI frontier. This deep dive asks how purpose stays embedded in science, even as Darwin reshaped biology, and what it means for meaning when intelligent machines pursue goals. A conversation about whether purpose is a relic or a fundamental layer of reality—and the questions future minds will force us to answer.
