This volume comprises the proceedings of the International Workshop
on Eco logical Goal Functions, held at the Schleswig-Holstein
Cultural Center of Salzau, August 30 -September 4, 1996. The
conference - first in a series - intended to be convened at Salzau
at 1 -2 year intervals to address various aspects of theo retical
and application-oriented ecology, was initiated, organized and
carried out under the auspices of the Ecology Center of the Kiel
University. It featured key note addresses, invited lectures,
submitted papers, and posters. 32 contributions written by authors
from eight countries, were selected to be presented in this book.
From the very rich discussions of the workshop, some general
characteristics emerged which might become important for a deeper
understanding of the nature of evolving systems or, in other words,
systems with a history, described by variables with a high degree
of interdependence. These characteristics include the following:
Speaking of 'goal functions' is a convenient 'fa on de parler',
since a logical analysis of the formal structure of teleological
and causal explanations shows that both are analogous with regard
to the inherent structural typology and the basic mode of
explanation. Teleological interpretations introduce motives or
objectives of actors into the set of 'antecedens' conditions
relevant for system evolution, and are consequently a subset of
causal interpretations."
