49.What's the difference between causal theory and teleology?

An interesting point. There are two ways to observe things. One is called "causal theory". It's easy to understand, that is to find a reason for everything. For example, I just got angry. Why? Because the other party is not decent, because I've endured him for a long time, because I've drunk too much, because I've suffered psychological trauma since I was a child, I can't control myself, and so on. In short, find a reason for everything.

Is there another way to see the world? It's called teleology. No matter what you do, you should always try to get insight into your real psychological purpose. For example, I just got angry. Why? Because I want to control each other in this way, because I want to find a scapegoat, put the responsibility on each other, because I have been wronged in other places, I want to find a vent, and so on.

You can hear that, according to the theory of reason, the world is very comfortable, but it is useless; It's hard to think about things according to teleology, but it points to self change after all.

原因论和目的论，有什么区别？

一个有趣的观点。把我们观察事物的方式分成了两种，一种叫“原因论”，这个好理解，就是凡事找个原因呗。比如我刚刚发了一次火，为啥？因为对方不像话啊，因为我忍了他很久啊，因为我喝多了，因为我从小受过心理创伤总是管不住自己啊，等等。总之，凡事找个原因。

那还有一种观察世界的方式呢？叫“目的论”。就是不管自己做了什么，总要设法洞察自己真实的心理目的。比如我刚刚发了一次火，为啥？因为我想用这种方式控制对方，因为我想找个替罪羊，把责任推到对方身上，因为我在别的地方受了委屈，我想找个出气筒，等等。

你听出来了，按照原因论来看世界很舒服，但是没有用；按照目的论来想事情很艰难，但是毕竟指向了自我改变。
