Why not? Why settle for anything less?

I'm not sure "mystical" is the word I would use, but I agree that
evolution does have a purpose, and his way of expressing it
is the best I have seen. I might amend it as follows: The aim of
human evolution is to attain a complete vision of the universe, in which
all causal relations are manifest, down to the roots of causality.
