In the 1960s, Robert S. Hartman described the need to unify the different spheres of value: axiological or agathic, deontological, and teleological. In this article we deal with the sphere of teleology. Aristotle founded teleology more than 2,300 years ago. At present, philosophers of science and language have studied teleological explanations and have distinguished them from causal explanations. Other researchers have contributed from perspectives within the Prospective, Planning, Forecasting, and Operations Research fields to think about the future, and to create future scenarios for social and personal life. Teleology needs researchers to advance the formalization processes in order to elevate this field to the level of a science. In this article, we deal with the evaluative aspect of teleology and how it can contribute to changing our way of life.References
