This is the first collection of essays devoted to the thought of Anselm W. M ller. It brings to the attention of the English-speaking world an influential and highly regarded philosopher who has made important contributions to a wide range of philosophical debates.

Arguably, M ller's most important contributions are to the philosophy of action and virtue ethics. The contributors, who include friends, colleagues, and former students, engage with different aspects of M ller's thought in these areas. Subjects include his interpretation of Aristotle and Wittgenstein, the teleology of thought and action, the Aristotelian distinction between poiēsis and praxis and its application to ethical upbringing, and the possibility of practical knowledge and practical truth.

Teleological Structures in Human Life will be of interest to researches and advanced students working on virtue ethics, philosophy of action, and practical reasoning.

Industry Reviews

"For several decades Anselm Mueller's name has been well known to those working in certain areas of practical philosophy, but very little of his output has been available in English. This excellent and welcome collection of papers discussing his contributions will help to change that situation. Mueller has much to teach us about the work of Aristotle, Aquinas, Wittgenstein and Anscombe."
Jonathan Dancy, University of Texas at Austin, USA

"Anselm Mueller is one of the most perceptive, original, profound, and intellectually honest philosophers alive today. In particular, his work in ethics and on practical rationality is without peer in recent decades, and in addition constitutes an essential contribution to neo-Aristotelian thought. This volume is a very timely celebration of Mueller's philosophy, the first of its kind, with contributions by luminaries and new voices alike"
Roger Teichmann, St Hilda's College, Oxford, UK
