Abstract

This paper focuses on Hegel's claim that purposiveness or teleology is, in his unusual terminology, "the truth of" mechanism. First, I defend several important insights about this from Maraguat's book, True Purposes in Hegel's Logic. Second, I argue that what follows from these insights is that there is an outstanding problem about Hegel's account of teleology, not solved in this book, or other recent work on the topic; I conclude with reason to expect that a solution would have to involve a radically idealist account of teleology.
