By reconstructing the teleological conceptions of Thomas Aquinas,
Suarez, Descartes, Spinoza, and Leibniz, the author argues against
the common view that mechanical philosophers in the Early Modern
Period rejected natural teleology because of its association with
an Aristotelian picture of the world. First, many thinkers in the
Early Modern Period did not reject teleological explanations for
natural phenomena. Second, many scholastic thinkers already
believed that pure natural teleology was problematic because they
held that authentic teleological explanations are only possible
when goals can be recognized."
