By DONALD DeMARCO Imagine a small spheroid — a baseball — traveling through the air. A group of scientists studies it carefully and determines its velocity, its spin rate, its wind resistance, and it deviations along its trajectory. The scientists do this with scientific precision and are prepared to tell the world all about the whirling adventures of this flying orb. But what they cannot determine, given their limited field of study, is the baseball’s efficient and final causes. The thin slice of reality they examine is too small for such determinations. Herein lies a problem for scientists. They can examine what they can see and measure, but the purpose of the flight of the baseball remains hidden from them.…Continue Reading
