Is it possible to see finality, causality and dialectics as basically the same thing but at different levels?
They are the same thing in the sense that they describe connections/relations/change. But that they should concern the same thing but at different levels we should look at as an unreasonable thought. These three concepts, furthermore, are describing very well the different ideas of reality in the three methodological views. To have a causal orientation provides a completely different result from if the connection/relation/change is seen as, for instance, dialectic. (See Box 3.5 and 3.7 in the book) 7.
