Teleology and logical form
British Journal for the Philosophy of Science 38 (1):27-34 (1987)
| Abstract | Recent proposals by Taylor, Bennett, Wright and Cohen to identify teleological systems as systems governed by teleological laws and teleological laws as laws of a certain logical form are discussed. Suggested logical forms are treated with both extensional and simple non-extensional models of nomic necessity and shown to generate problematic entailments not derivable from the causal form alone | |||||||||
