I agree

Merge

From an etymologic stand point the two are, at a minimum, linguistically connected, thus a stub would be appropriate in my opinion; if not a stub, then I think a disambiguation page would suffice...so does anyone have change for a nickel? lol --daronw 18:33, 12 April 2006 (UTC)Reply

Since this is a stub, why don't we merge the two? Hyacinth 09:40, 8 April 2006 (UTC)Reply


I think it's fine by itself, that's what I searched for at first


Maybe connect them but this is what I was looking for as far as it's connection to the Gaia Hypothesis

I disagree. The branches of philosophy are distinguished by the use of the “ology” suffix. The teleology branch of philosophy looked at what is translated from Aristotle as “final causes”. As an active line of inquiry it is primarily restricted to the pre-Galilean view of the world. The fact that it is a closed discipline dating from this earlier time period is emphasized by letting it have its own topic.


I disagree with the merge. Teleology is important in its own right, beyond its relationship with the concept of Telos. If any merge does happen, it should be Telos into Teleology, definitely not the other way around.--Bkwillwm 00:55, 21 April 2006 (UTC)Reply
