"This book develops a unified theory of moral progress. The author argues that there are mechanisms in place that consistently drive societies towards moral improvement and that a sophisticated, naturalistically respectable form of teleology can be defended. The book's main aim is to flesh out the process of moral progress in more detail, and to show how, when the right mechanisms and institutions of moral progress are matched together, they create pressure for the desired types of moral gains to manifest. The first part of the book deals with two issues: the conceptual one about what moral progress is, and the broadly empirical one whether it is possible. It shows that cultural evolution successfully explains the origins of modern forms of morally welcome change. The second part argues that there is logical space for a moderate, scientifically credible form of teleology, and that the converse case for moral decline is weak. It addresses the types, drivers and institutions of moral progress that allow for the storage, transmission and cumulative improvement of our normative infrastructure over time. Finally, the third part demonstrates why moral progress cannot be accounted for in metaethically realist terms. Moral Teleology will be of interest to researchers and advanced students working in ethics, moral epistemology and moral psychology"--

Die Vorstellung von einem Plan Gottes spielt in allen theologischen Traktaten eine zentrale Rolle, sei es in der Schöpfungslehre, Soteriologie, Ethik oder Eschatologie. Angesichts dessen ist es irritierend, dass das göttliche Planen in der gegenwärtigen Theologie kaum zum expliziten Reflexionsgegenstand wird. Hier setzt der Band an. Unter Berücksichtigung heutiger Anfragen, die insbesondere seitens der Evolutionslehre und kritischen Vernunft ergehen, wird die Frage nach einer göttlichen Finalität interdisziplinär behandelt. Dabei ist der Blick auf die Schöpfung, den Menschen und sein sittliches Verhalten fokussiert. Im Zentrum der Beiträge stehen folgende Fragen: Verfolgt Gott mit seiner Schöpfung einen erkennbaren Plan? Inwiefern ist der Mensch in ihn involviert? Lassen sich aus ihm moralische Implikationen ableiten?--

This book addresses a key issue in Hegel's philosophical legacy - his account of purposiveness and teleology - that has often been wrongly criticised and misunderstood. In a re-examination of Hegel's account of purposiveness and teleology, Edgar Maraguat explores its connection with the rest of Hegel's philosophy, traces the influence of Aristotle and Kant on its arguments, and closely analyses its place in Hegel's Science of Logic. The result is a new perspective not only on the nature, spirit and goals of the Logic, but on the whole of Hegel's philosophical legacy, and will appeal to a range of readers in Hegel studies, the history of philosophy, and the history of ideas.
