THE CLASS IS DEVOTED TO THE NOTION OF "TELEOLOGY". SUCH A NOTION, GROUNDED ON THE ANALOGY BETWEEN ART, TECHNOLOGY AND NATURE, IS THE NECESSARY HEURISTIC TOOL TO UNDERSTAND LIFE'S PHENOMENON. FROM THIS POINT OF VIEW, KANT'S WORK IS THE MOST IMPORTANT SYNTHESIS OF THIS NOTION OFFERED INTO MODERNITY.
THE 2TH PART IS DEVOTED TO HANS JONAS' BIOLOGICAL PHILOSOPHY, AND IN PARTICULAR, TO ITS RENEWAL OF TELEOLOGY AS THE KEY TO UNDERSAND LIVING PHENOMENA.
