Excerpt from The Principles of Physiological and Physical Science: Comprehending the Ends for Which Animated Beings Were Created; And Examination of the Unnatural and Artificial Systems of Philosophy Which Now Prevail
Although the doctrine of materialism isnot proclaimed in.our philosophical, schools in word, I will maintain, that it is so indeed. I will maintain, that the existence of any immaterial, 'or spiritual principle,. Is sel dom, if ever, mentioned, much less employ ed, as constituting the cause of organisa tion, or of intellection; on the contrary, that it is to the organisation 'alone, and to the matter of which that organisation is composed, that the principle'of life and of mind, 'as effects, is immediately referred. This evil spirlt, if it dared, would even manifest itselfadv introduction.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book focuses on the fundamental nature of matter and the contrasting attributes of life. The author argues that commonly understood chemical properties and processes alone do not account for the complexity and dynamism found in living systems. Through a multi-disciplinary exploration of essential properties and their relationship to dead and living matter, this book challenges the prevailing chemical paradigm. Concepts of vitality, force, action, organization, and power are revisited in opposition to the dominant reductionist approach to science. The author concludes that the inherent traits and actions of organisms reveal a more multifaceted and powerful force than that which can be explained by present chemical knowledge. This book invites readers to question the boundaries of scientific understanding and explore the nature of life beyond the limits of traditional chemistry.
