👉 The Ends Project is a research initiative led by philosopher Mark C. Taylor that aims to redefine the goals and methods of philosophy itself. It seeks to move beyond traditional concerns like logic, language, and metaphysics by focusing on the practical ends or purposes that philosophy should serve in human life. Taylor argues that philosophy should not just analyze but also improve the world, addressing issues such as justice, rights, and well-being. The project encourages philosophers to engage with real-world problems and to consider how philosophical inquiry can contribute to positive social change, thus bridging the gap between abstract thought and tangible impact.
