Description:Excerpt from Biological Lectures Delivered at the Marine Biological Laboratory of Wood's Holl in the Summer Session of 1894 Comparison of standpoints must benefit both sides. Cross fertilization works rejuvenation in theories as in organisms. The biologist may pause to see how the individual vanishes in the abyss of the universal, and how self-determination dissolves in the presence of the physicist's fundamental postulate of inertia. The physicist may find it agreeable from time to time to turn from the Nirvana where self and not-self, rocked in blissful reciprocity of vibration, annul each other, to the world where self asserts itself in organic determinations issuing in purposeful adaptations and conscious intelligent action. The inexperienced reader may need to be reminded that our standpoints with reference to organic development are not necessarily mechanical for the physicist, and vitalistic for the biologist. Transcendental vitalism has just as little standing on the biological as on the physical side. Indeed, if we were to draw the line between mechanism and vitalism, it would be found, unless I am much mistaken, that there are more physi cists than biologists on the side of vitalism. No less a physicist than Lord Kelvin has recently declared that the in uence of animal or vegetable life on matter is infinitely beyond the range of any scientific inquiry hitherto entered on. Its power of directing the motions of moving particles is infinitely different from any possible result of the fortuitous concourse of atoms. 1 This may not be vitalism, but it does not look like mechanism.
