Speaking of teleology: David Oderberg’s article “Finality Revived: Powers and Intentionality” has just appeared in Synthese.  It seems at the moment to be available for free viewing online, so take a look.  Readers interested in final causality and its relationship to the current debate in analytic metaphysics about the purported “physical intentionality” of causal powers will definitely find it of interest.

If you haven’t done so, take a look also at David’s earlier writings on this subject, such as his article “Teleology: Inorganic and Organic.”  (And, of course, he has authored a great many other important articles and books on topics in metaphysics and many other philosophical issues.)
