By way of summary, a teleological explanation of a choice to perform an action involves an agent (i) having a belief or a desire in the content of which he conceives of or represents the future as including a good state of affairs that is an end or goal to be brought about or produced; (2) conceiving of or representing in the content of a belief the means to the realization or bringing about of this end, where the means begin with the agent performing an action; and (3) making a choice to perform that action in order to bring about the end.
