The philosophy , which has in each movement calmness and behavior a maximum purpose , should make its research system built completely upon the concept of teleology and we should mention here the teleology means in general ( the theory which aims that everything in nature and its process is directed towards a special aim or purpose ) . so ,plato tried to preserve the purpose of philosophy from the beginning till the end and its regarded as a moral purpose .
The Idea of teleology in Plato's philosophy
Its sure that the assumption of existence of primitives of teleological thought in plato’s philosophy was not a part of guess concerning clear and sure philosophical opinions and points of views , to sure such a thing in plato’s philosophy who was working from the very beginning to prove the principle aim to sure through it the higher existence and who made , such a god which has many common with good thing . such a god who the sophistic made its subject o doubt , such a doubt according to plato’s opinion or points of view , is the absolute reason or moral corruption concerning the person and society , and also , the abnegation of god and its knowledge in his opinion , regarded as the horrible matter and they said that the human reality will not be known by the god and its horrible matter , because the knowledge of god is the most precise and what the god has of knowledge makes its knowledge what we have in reality .
According to this , plato was assuring in all his natural , social , existent , moral and political attempting the existence of god and chose the sample of high good and involved all the sides of his philosophy with this and also decided through such a theory , the existence with its being close to good sample , and being away from sensual world , its materialized in its existence moral sides together and get its maximum goal, and by this he made the sensual world as a whole world depending upon the knowledge of god and its goals and makes the good example as a way or channel which shows what humanity morals should be to get or obtain the only real existence of man in the only real world of plato .
This teleology can be found in each side of his philosophy in a direct and sometimes aim an indirect way , and this what we want to make sure in this paper . |
