This text examines Aristotle's concept of the four causes and criticizes the modern tendency to reduce causality to the efficient cause while dismissing the final cause (teleology). The author argues that contemporary objections to finalism are often superficial and stem from a misunderstanding of the original Greek term 'aitia,' which also encompassed material and formal causes. The text challenges the validity of mechanistic pancausalism, asserting that causal relations do not form an impenetrable web but are instead discontinuous and 'grainy.' These gaps in causal chains provide the necessary space for new intentions, goals, and plans to enter real-world contexts. By reorganizing existing causal relations toward specific ends, human agents can utilize mechanical processes to fulfill their own purposes. Finality is thus not a contradiction of causality but its creative application. The article seeks to rehabilitate the significance of teleological thinking, emphasizing that the world allows for intentional actions that introduce new directions and meanings into reality, thereby moving beyond a purely deterministic worldview.
