Title

Finalism vs. Antifinalism: Leibniz, Spinoza and the Debate on Teleology in Early Modern Metaphycs and Epistemology. A Clash of Paradigms. 

Description

Scientific revolution radically challenged the traditional forms of teleological thought. Recent studies shed new light on this process. Starting from the alternative models worked out by Spinoza and Leibniz, this research aims at providing an updated map of this major conceptual change, by emphasizing the related conceptual shift, the blend of different explanatory paradigms, the complex tehological and epistemological implications.
