To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Teleology simply means this working towards ends, without emphasizing what is at work beyond the nature of the object itself. We are face to face with such a teleology in the universe at large and in the phenomena of life. It is nothing outside that does the work but the object itself. Thus, we are not dealing here with any kind of speculation, but with facts which point to the presence of a power (for which there is no philosophic name) below man which accomplishes marvels too great to underst...and from a purely mechanical standpoint. When we reach man a teleology of consciousness is discerned. The actual evolution of human society and its changes are a proof of this. As will be pointed out in a later chapter man is able to frame and to hold before himself concepts higher and more comprehensive than any of the achievements of his life. He views such concepts as constituting the meaning of the universe and of life. One of the main messages of Philosophy to-day is to re-affirm the importance of this conceptual teleology a tele- ology which leads man higher than where he stood ^ /Zy^ SOME PROBLEMS OF ORIGINS 45 before although it does not reveal the meaning, value, and significance of life in its entirety.
