pz50gt56z7g	James Alan Barham	Teleological Realism in Biology	2011		.txt	text/plain	340	12	37	The concept of purpose, together with the closely related concepts of normativity and agency, stand at the crossroads of three academic disciplines: the philosophy of action, the philosophy of biology, and the nexus of theoretical biology and cognitive science that is concerned with the theory of the 'organization' of 'autonomous agents.' The scientific literature, on the other hand, tends to misuse 'teleology,' 'normativity,' 'agency,' and related terms, mistakenly ascribing such concepts to 'autonomous agents' conceived of as subject only to the ordinary laws of physics.	cache/pz50gt56z7g.txt	txt/pz50gt56z7g.txt
