Abstract

Though Darwinism theories have ruled out teleology in their emphasis on natural selection, the process of evolution can, nevertheless, best be explained in analogy with subjective experience, that is, the universe is composed of organisms, each of which is inter-related to others which it experiences.  Further, each of these inter-related organisms can be said to have an immanent drive, or subjective aim.  Scientists, in their study of the universe, must not neglect the experiencing subject.
