CULLETON, Alfredo Santiago. O problema da causa finalis em Ockham. Educação e Filosofia [online]. 2011, vol.25, n.50, pp.521-537. ISSN 1982-596X.

This article aims to demonstrate that the new understanding of causa finalis formulated by Ockham inaugurates a new theoretical stance on which is founded a critique on the teleology of classic and scholastic philosophies, towards a paradigm shift. It will mean, in Heideggerian terms, beginning a new epoch for which will be called Ockham Inceptor modern track. We don’t believe that it is Ockham the only responsible for this change, but that his new formulations seriously undermine one of the main bases of the philosophical tradition, which is teleology.

Keywords : Ockham; Causa Finalis; Teleology; Franciscanism; Metha-Politics.
