The Teleology of Action in Plato's Republic
Payne, Andrew (St Joseph's University, Philadelphia)
This book explores a variety of teleology present in Plato's Republic, in which actions are carried out for the sake of an end that is not the intended goal. Payne draws on examples from Republic to demonstrate that performing some actions can help produce unintended results, which qualify as ends or purposes of human action.
