Abstract:	"We apply these tools to our morals": eighteenth-century Freemasonry, a case study in teleology / Richard Berrman -- Teleologies and religion in the eighteenth century / William Gibson -- John Wesley and the teleology of education / Linda A. Ryan -- Teleology and race / Marius Turda -- Charles Darwin and the argument for design / David Redvaldsen -- Teleology and Jewish heretical religiosity: Nietzsche and Rosenzweig / David Ohana -- Can the sciences do without final causes? / Stephen Boulter -- Hume, teleology and the "science of man" / Lorenzo Greco and Dan O'Brien -- What is the function of morality? / Mark Cain -- Is intuitive teleological reasoning promiscuous? / Johan de Smedt and Helen de Cruz.
	"The main and original contribution of this volume is to offer a discussion of teleology through the prism of religion, philosophy and history. The goal is to incorporate teleology within discussions across these three disciplines rather than restrict it to one as is customarily the case. The chapters cover a wide range of topics, from individual teleologies to collective ones; ideas put forward by the French aristocrat Arthur de Gobineau and the Scottish philosopher David Hume, by the Anglican theologian and founder of Methodism, John Wesley, and the English naturalist Charles Darwin; it criss-crosses intellectually and conceptually from a discussion of morality to that of the sacralisation of politics"--
