Hegel's teleology is often understood as the metaphysics of the mind, which consists of a self-externalization of the mind and a movement of comeback to itself. According to this, the stages and the moments through which the mind passes are merely a vehicle for achieving the final goal of self-identity recovery. However, this conception only remains within the framework of external purposiveness. The subject who uses the "cunning" in the practical philosophical connection of labor also remains within this framework. It uses its tools to make its purpose realized in the objective world without its being damaged. At the time of Jena, using this concept of the "cunning", Hegel still grasps the purpose-means relationship within the external purposiveness. However, according to his idea of internal purposiveness in the Science of Logic, the descriptive concept of "cunning", which was developed at the time of Jena, is transformed into a more general category, the critical concept of "cunning of reason". According to Hegel in the chapter on 'Teleology' of the Science of Logic, the realization of subjective purposes through the "cunning of reason" is to be violent, no matter how it is indirectly made through the use of means, in the sense that this realization is still to be executed in the extraneous world of objects. On the contrary, the connection of internal purposiveness consists in understanding the purpose, which is given only as subjectively at the point of departure, as the whole process, in which this purpose is realized in the object world beyond its subjective closure.
