| teleology |
Seeing natural things in terms of purpose: eyes are for seeing, wings are for flying. It was one of the major efforts of science to break this habit in order to clear the way for deeper insights into nature, specifically into evolution.

Teleology is the study of final causes, the belief that things occur for a reason, a design of nature. A teleologist would look at a utilitarian answer to see if the end justified the means. This is also the basis of religious tenets.

Teleological explanations attempt to explain things in terms of their function. For example, Leibniz sought to explain the existence of evil in the world by arguing that it was necessary for free-will to exist.

| teleology |
An account of something in terms of goals or purposes or aims or functions. An explanation of why a plant's leaves turn towards light in terms of the PURPOSE SERVED (eg 'they turn for the purpose of photosynthesizing') would be a TELEOLOGICAL EXPLANATION. Common sense explanations of human actions are typically teleological (see if you can provide your own example). Since about the 17th century scientists have tended to shun teleological explanations.
