Purpose/Machine: a machine can be used for many different purposes. The purpose of the machine is not inherent in it. - - - Aim/Purpose/Human/MacIntyre/Rorty: it is difficult to see where the purpose of the human could be. We cannot maintain the "functional" Aristotelian concept that establishes a relationship between "human" and "live well" along the lines of "harpist" and "good at playing the harp." (Collingwood as well). >MacIntyre, >Collingwood. V 39 Newton/Universe/Rorty: Newton sees the universe as a mechanism. Consequence: a purpose is no longer inherent in the world itself! The world no longer teaches people how they should live. Darwin/Purpose: interaction between species coincidental. Therefore also here: the purpose is not inherent in the event itself. - - - VI 434f Aim/Purpose/Darwinism/Rorty: Darwin banned purpose from nature, as far as it reaches beyond the needs of a specific organism. Aim/Purpose/RortyVsDewey: but as soon as purpose disappears from nature, there is no philosophical problem anymore that would affect the ability of science (of knowledge)! For then, the reconciliation of the purposes of the subject with those of the object is no longer a problem. The object is no longer the embodiment of a telos (of nature, Aristotle), but simply an object of handling. >Nature/Aristotle, >Teleology, >Actions, >Epistemology, >Darwinism, >NatureNature, >Nature/Dewey.}, note = { Rorty I Richard Rorty Philosophy and the Mirror of Nature, Princeton/NJ 1979 German Edition: Der Spiegel der Natur Frankfurt 1997 Rorty II Richard Rorty Philosophie & die Zukunft Frankfurt 2000 Rorty II (b) Richard Rorty "Habermas, Derrida and the Functions of Philosophy", in: R.
