SYNOPSIS:

"Entelechy" is the Aristotelian term used to indicate the inner purpose inherent in every being or reality, a kind of state of perfection of something that has achieved the purpose for which it was predisposed. An eternal and ideal principle, entelechy is in a constant dialectical relationship with the material conditions, bodies and worlds, that confront it.
