Teleological arguments are undoubtedly an important part of ancient philosophical thought and, therefore, they are familiar to students of ancient philosophy. These arguments tend to be associated primarily with the Aristotelian tradition and specific problems within that tradition. This volume, arising from a conference held at the University of Exeter in 2009, challenges this assumption by showing how diversely these arguments were used in antiquity and how pervasive and influential this type of argumentation was thereafter. The volume is divided into four parts: ‘The Socratic Foundations of Teleology’, ‘Plato and the Platonist Tradition’, ‘Aristotle and the Aristotelian Tradition’, and ‘Teleology in Medicine.’
The ancient origins of teleological concepts are sometimes either conveniently forgotten or given a distorted appearance. On the one hand, ancient teleology has been obscured by the theological cloak of creationism. On the other, Darwinists have sometimes failed to give due consideration to the variety and subtlety of teleology's intellectual antecedents. The purpose of this book is to restore the balance by looking at the manifold ways in which teleology in antiquity was viewed. The volume, consisting of twelve essays by leading authorities in their fields, examines the ways in which teleological arguments were used in antiquity and how these discussions inform and influence current debates on evolution, creationism and intelligent design. As well as examining philosophical contributions to the subject, a specific aim is to examine ancient medical thinking on this topic and its relationship to ancient philosophical ideas.
