This text explores the concept of purposefulness in nature and provides a critique of the prevailing reductionist approach in modern science. The author points out that many natural scientists remain staunch defenders of strict causality and metaphysics, often rejecting teleology as a valid scientific category. While purposefulness has historically been attributed primarily to biology and living organisms, the author argues that to explain the origin of life scientifically, we must admit certain prerequisites for the emergence and rise of purpose even at the pre-biological level. The author criticizes attempts to explain the origin of life solely through chance or the struggle for survival, suggesting that such explanations lack true scientific rigor. Instead, the proposal is made to assume certain types of tropisms within the realm of the pre-living. By moving beyond mechanistic models and reductionist interpretations, the text calls for a broader understanding of evolutionary processes that accounts for the continuity of purposefulness from inanimate matter to living beings, challenging the boundaries of contemporary scientific thought and seeking deeper foundations for the rise of teleology.
