City of Endless Night The real problem for the Chinese intellectuals is to acquire Western knowledge without acquiring the mechanistic outlook. The Problem of China The second was the mechanistic system, or systems, the protagonist of which was Descartes. Towards the Great Peace Here, too, the fundamental problem is, how far the process may be mechanically explicable or comprehensible, how far it is susceptible of formulation in physico-chemical or mechanistic terms. Biology A lecture delivered at Columbia University in the series on Science, Philosophy and Art November 20, 1907 This is the mechanistic explanation of mind, consciousness, etc., but it is the only one, or kind of one, that lends itself to scientific interpretation. The Breath of Life Then there is the false idea that all causality is mechanistic and that there is nothing in the universe which is not mathematically calculable. Bergson and His Philosophy Perhaps it is not clear what I mean by "the mechanistic outlook." The Problem of China There is no more fatal error in education than that standardization which has recently become a fad and which finds its most mechanistic manifestation in France. Towards the Great Peace Mayer actually had a picture directly contrary to the mechanistic conception.

Origin and Nature of Emotions As Sherrington has stated, "Environment drives the brain, the brain drives the various organs of the body," and here we believe we find the key to a mechanistic interpretation of all body processes. Origin and Nature of Emotions The mechanistic theory of life—the theory that all living things can be explained and fully accounted for on purely physico-chemical principles—has many defenders in our day.
