Teleonomy in living systems: an overview
Biological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2023Abstract An introduction, overview and discussion are provided for this special issue of the Biological Journal of the Linnean Society, entitled ‘Teleonomy in Living Systems’. The introduction offers a brief account of the origin of Colin Pittendrigh’s notion of teleonomy, in many ways comparable to Dobzhansky’s later proposal of ...

Towards a methodology of teleonomy [PDF]
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
BioSystemsBiological 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

A Resolution Between Mentalism and Teleonomy, or Fodder for a Continuing Dialogue?
Integrative Psychological and Behavioral Science, 2010Scientists, including psychologists, are often disturbed by the psychological interpretation of animal behavior. Nick Thompson offered a teleonomic approach to the use of psychological terms to describe behavior that avoided the assumption that mental states (or other entities or processes) caused the behavior.

Evolutionary Teleonomy as a Unifying Principle for the Extended Evolutionary Synthesis [PDF]
BIO-Complexity, 2017 Many people underestimate the effect that unifying principles have on the study of biology. Unifying principles are used to provide simplifying assumptions to complex problems which allow them to be effectively tackled by the tools at hand.

On the Chemical Nature and Origin of Teleonomy
Origins of Life and Evolution of Biospheres, 2005The physico-chemical characterization of a teleonomic event and the nature of the physico-chemical process by which teleonomic systems could emerge from non-teleonomic systems are addressed in this paper. It is proposed that teleonomic events are those whose primary directive is discerned to be non-thermodynamic, while regular (non-teleonomic) events ...

Abstract Scientific investigation of the behaviour of animals in relation to environmental goals, and of the performance of the stabilizing systems which regulate the internal environment of their cells, was for many years frustrated by a kind of vitalism which effectively excluded such investigation from the proper province of ...
