Επικαιρικό νήμα, από την αναφορά του κ. Ευ. Βενιζέλου στην ετερογονία των σκοπών κατά τη σημερινή ομιλία του στη Βουλή (για τη λίστα Λαγκάρντ).
The "heterogony of ends" is a famous expression formulated in 1886 by German philosopher Wilhelm Wundt, to denote the phenomenon of men serving different purposes than those they are consciously pursuing.
The original German expression was Heterogonie der Zwecke, variously translated in English as heterogony/heterogeneity/heterogenesis of ends/goals/purposes. It was first formulated by Wundt in 1886, in his book Ethics.

Από το OED:
heterogony of ends: a principle enunciated by Wundt (Ethik 1886), according to which the development of religion and of codes of moral and social behaviour produced results that are to be distinguished from the cause of the development and were not intended at its outset; e.g. moral customs are regarded as (unforeseen) outgrowths from religious ceremonial.
1887 Mind XII. 286 The most general results of the author's [sc. Wundt's] investigation are a ‘law of three stages’ of moral development and a ‘law of the heterogony of ends’. 1897 J. H. Gulliver et al. tr. Wundt's Ethik I. 330 The law of the heterogony of ends. We mean to express by this name what is a matter of universal experience: that manifestations of will, over the whole range of man's free voluntary actions, are always of such a character that the effects of the actions extend more or less widely beyond the original motives of volition, so that new motives are originated for future actions, and again, in their turn, produce new effects. 1911 Encycl. Brit. XVIII. 241/2 Each particular will is directed to particular ends, but‥beyond these ends effects follow as unexpected consequences, and‥this heterogony produces social effects which we call custom.

«ετερογονία τών σκοπών»· νόμος τών ψυχικών φαινομένων κατά τον οποίο μια αιτία παράγει αποτέλεσμα διαφορετικό από το επιζητούμενο.
