teleological history

Teleological history is an approach that interprets history as driven by purposeful goals or ends. It suggests that historical events and developments are directed toward specific objectives or ideals, such as progress, justice, or human fulfillment. This perspective views history not as random changes, but as a meaningful process aiming toward a particular future. It emphasizes understanding how individual actions and societal changes contribute to achieving these overarching purposes, framing history as a purposeful journey rather than just a sequence of unrelated occurrences.
