ABSTRACT

Many people get real comfort from the concept of equifinality, and understandably so, up to a point. For this term strictly applies to that happy circumstance under which some, or many, or perhaps all approaches will get conscientious people to the same end point. That circumstance, wherever it exists, would take much of the sting out of life—for example, I cannot imagine how real believers in equifinality could engage in religious or social discrimination.
