God is man's ultimate end. (- Summa, First Part of the Second Part, Question 1)
The word "telos" is of Greek origin and refers to an end goal, purpose, or ultimate aim. It is commonly used in philosophy and ethics to signify the final intended outcome or result of a process or action.
Our actions determine the path we take towards reaching our ultimate end. Each choice we make has consequences that can either bring us closer to or farther away from our ultimate goal or purpose in life. It is through our actions that we shape our journey and define our legacy.
The ultimate purpose of life is subjective and can vary from person to person. Some may find purpose in relationships, achievements, or personal growth. Despite the inevitability of death, many believe that finding meaning and fulfillment in life is important, regardless of its ultimate end.
Instrumental values refer to the beliefs and behaviors that guide how a person achieves their goals, while terminal values are the ultimate goals or end states that a person strives to achieve. In simpler terms, instrumental values are the means to an end, while terminal values are the end goals themselves.

In Thomas Aquinas' philosophy, a human act is defined as an action performed with knowledge and will, distinguishing it from mere instinctual or involuntary actions. These acts are morally significant because they reflect the rational nature of humans, allowing for ethical evaluation based on good and evil. Aquinas emphasizes that human acts arise from reason and are directed towards an ultimate end or purpose, which is ultimately aligned with the pursuit of the good. This framework is central to his moral theology and understanding of virtue.
Yes, in a way, we can say that human actions and existence are directed toward an end, similar to Aquinas' concept of arrows aimed at a target. This end can be understood as the pursuit of purpose, fulfillment, or ultimate good, often framed within philosophical or theological contexts. Just as arrows are guided by an archer's intention, our choices and aspirations may reflect a deeper quest for meaning or a higher goal. However, the nature of this end can vary widely among individuals and cultures.

Aquinas's design argument is a philosophical argument that asserts the existence of God based on observations of the order and purpose evident in the natural world. According to Aquinas, the complexity and harmony in nature suggest a design by an intelligent creator, which he identifies as God. The argument is also known as the teleological argument, derived from the Greek word "telos," meaning purpose or end.
