The idea of teleology is probably seen as a constraint on the imaginations in flight of post enlightenment thinkers. Not to say many of these are without their own visions pf purposes and ends. Perhaps it's the word and it's connotations that they resist, it certainly isn't conceptions of progress or utopia or the solutions and graces of science, of which and more we have had aplenty.

Had to chuckle at the mention of Parfit, he was quite a read. No wonder the muddled conception of Self when, in what I read, when there is no special claim by a person for his future, everyone else to be considered equally.
