"It is an intellectual catastrophe that the concept of telos has been scrubbed from modern psychology; philosophers from Artistotle to Hegel have found the universe impossible to comprehend without telos. If the universe is truly interpenetrating and interdependent in all aspects, then not only does the past shape the present, the future also shapes the present, just as an electric current will not leave one terminal until the distant terminal is grounded."
Ken Wilber, "Odyssey: A Personal Inquiry into Humanistic and Transpersonal Psychology" (1982)
