Teleological means describing events as happening for purposes, for example, the sun shines in order to keep the Earth warm; the non-teleological version would be that the sun shines because of the process of nuclear fusion that takes place inside it. Or, a teleological explanation for why the rain falls, is to help the crops to grow. Non-teleologically, the rain falls because changes in air temperature will eventually cause water vapor to condense into droplets which at some point will become too large to remain suspended in the air, and which will fall due to the force of gravity. I could say that chemical reactions are driven by the desire of atoms to have eight electrons in their outer shell, which is teleological, but I could also say non-teleologically that an atom with eight electrons in its outer shell has a stable arragnement of electrons. See how that works?
Utilitarianism is a teleological ethical theory, as it focuses on the consequences or outcomes of actions to determine their moral worth. It is concerned with maximizing overall happiness or well-being for the greatest number of people.

Teleological moral theory is a theory that judges the morality of an action based on its consequences or outcomes. It focuses on the end result or goal of the action rather than the action itself. Common forms of teleological moral theories include consequentialism and utilitarianism.

Natural Law is a deontological ethical theory, as it focuses on the moral duty to follow principles that are inherently good and universal, rather than on the consequences of actions (teleological approach).
Deontological and teleological ethical systems both aim to provide guidance on moral behavior. However, they differ in their focus: deontological ethics emphasizes duty and following rules and principles regardless of the outcome, while teleological ethics focuses on the consequences or outcomes of actions to determine their morality.
The word teleological means of or pertaining to ends, goals or purposes.The teleological argument is an argument for the existence of God, which begins with the allegedly empirical premise that there is order in the universe and that there must be a cosmic intelligence to account forthis order. This argument was popularised by William Paley, who said that if we found a watch we would expect it to have been designed by a watchmaker.
