I understand that it’s a method that ascribes purposes to things. I have heard people speak very highly and lowly of it. On the one hand people say it has greater explanatory power than cause and effect. On the other, it assumes purpose in a meaningless universe. So which is it? Is it a good framework?

Too vague for a meaningful answer.
It’s a long word for “aiming at something”
Is thinking about the aims of things a “good framework”?? Too vague.
