Description
"The denial of the reality of teleological causation is the characteristic feature of contemporary science and justifies the designation Modern Materialism. In this book I have sought to show that, when Atomic Materialism is rejected, the remaining grounds for denying teleological causation are very flimsy; that Science is in the very act of repudiating the chief remaining ground, namely, the belief that conscious thinking cannot affect the course of physical events; and that we have the strongest possible grounds for believing that our own voluntary actions are instances of truly teleological intervention in the course of physical events."
