Wirklichkeit

Wirklichkeit

…However, since he also assumes a “pure form” or supernatural “God” that is a “perfect reality (entelecheia = state of having reached telos)” in which all possibilities are actualized, leaving no possibility within himself, as the highest purpose that guides the purposeful movement of all beings at the end (telos) of their movement, and tries to base the existence of the world on this, he can be seen as ultimately inheriting Plato's metaphysical way of thinking. The term “energeia = state of having reached ergon (work, result, manifestation of ability)” meaning actuality was translated into Latin as actualitas in medieval scholastic philosophy, and this was further translated into modern German philosophy as Wirklichkeit. In either case, real beings are thought to have been brought into that state by the actus, Wirken (action, activity) of something (for example, God), and the intervention of some supernatural principle is assumed.
