Vitalism vs. mechanism

Just reread everything, and get a dictionary while you're at it.

I am sorry Fil. My harsh tone was uncalled for. I can only blame this particular day, which has left me unusually flustered... But it seems that we are going around eachother because neither of us has english as his main language...

oh no...that kind of approach is not neither honest nor well intended...
..if you want me to be arrogant I just will say that I am convinced of being far more literate at large than you...(not that I think that your knowledge is n´t well above the average)

You confuse being informal and mostly dismissive or uninterested with not knowing what I am talking about, a classic mistake...to that ad my English insufficient control and a tendency to neologisms to convey new ideas...you see poorly concerning what I know or don´t know...not a problem to me, your loss !

well...that is a different approach...forget my reply !

Well, in the interest of productive communication, I think we are misunderstanding eachother. I will have another look at it tomorrow, because right now I am too tired.
Have a good night

Good night to you to, be well !

I'm attracted to the cognitive style of "vitalism", for example Bergson's Elan Vital and Nietzsche's Will to Power. They grant a kind of uberlife to Nature. I appreciate the mechanism of Darwin's Evolution, especially natural selection as its central mechanism, but ultimately it must rest on biological-chemical forces for the energy needed to carry on Nature's business.
