Necesidad y finalidad en la naturaleza y en el espíritu. Algunas indicaciones de la Ciencia de la lógica

Abstract

I discuss here the importance that the theses on teleology have in the Doctrine of the Concept of the Science of Logic. I argue that they are not trivial, that they reverse Kant's in the Critique of Judgment and that they largely recover Aristotle's in the books of Physics, although for Hegel the internal teleology of self-producing beings is the truth of all teleology; however, for Aristotle, the teleology of those beings is the truth of necessity (of what Hegel calls "mechanism"), but not of the teleology of thought.
