Zweck, purpose, propósito, Ziel, aim, meta

Purpose is the for-what [Wozu  -etwas]; aim is that toward which [woraufhin] something is. The end [Ende  ] can be encountered in the character of purpose or aim, but only because τέλος   is end. It is aim or purpose with respect to a definite looking-toward . . . [Hinsehen  -auf  ], keeping-in-sight [Ins-Auge  -Fassen]. [GA18MT  :57]
