Dispensability of Teleonomy

Boston Studies in the Philosophy and History of Science, 1980
Teleology and teleonomy are notions employed in discourse, descriptive and explanatory, about living systems, and although it is claimed that they do not necessarily enter as causal elements in their functioning, it is asserted that they are essential definitory features of their organization.

Teleonomy

History of Philosophy and Logical Analysis, 2011
The distinction between teleology and teleonomy that biologists sometimes refer to seems to be helpful in certain contexts, but it is used in several different ways and has rarely been clearly drawn. This paper discusses three prominent uses of the term “teleonomy” and traces its history back to what seems to be its first use.

Towards a methodology of teleonomy

Experientia, 1973
Das einzige fur die Biologie kennzeichnende Problem der Anpassung von Organismen an ihre Umwelt hat nicht die Bearbeitung erfahren, die es verdient hatte. Als einer der Hauptgrunde fur diese Lage wird das Fehlen einer formalisierten Methodenlehre fur die naturwissenschaftliche Erforschung von Anpassungen, die Teleonomie, angesehen.

On the origin of biological teleonomy

BioSystems
Biological teleonomy is a concept that reflects the goal-directedness and internal purposiveness characteristics in living systems. It is manifested in the way that the structures, functions, and behaviors of organisms are organized and evolved to achieve specific goals or maintain specific states. Teleonomy is a fundamental attribute of life, and as a

Cooperation and the Gradual Emergence of Life and Teleonomy

, 2020
A wide consensus among researchers into the origins of life states that simple life, in its origins, contained at least three molecular structures: replicators, metabolic enzymes, and membranes. In itself, this view allows to hypothesize that, in the path leading to this self-supporting triad, many partial combinations of these three elements and their
