Abstract
In this comment, I will deal with Edgar Maraguat's reading of Hegel as a precursor to one prominent theory in contemporary philosophy of biology: the organizational account of biological functions. I will show how Maraguat's account of Hegel's conception of natural teleology fits into the contemporary debate. Finally, I will bring forward exegetical objections to this reading of Hegel and systematic objections to the structural basis that is supposed to justify natural teleology and which, according to Maraguat, Hegel's conception of the organism and that of the organizational account have in common.
