活力论

Hans Driesch, the arch twentieth-century vitalist, defined vitalism in 1914 as "the theory of the autonomy of the process of life," and in certain respects he was right.

二十世纪主要的活力论者汉斯•德里施，1914活力论定义为“关于生命进程自治的理论”。某些方面他是对的。

If we look we may find that direction and goals can emerge in biological evolution from a mob of directionless and goal-less parts, without invoking vitalistic or supernatural explanations.

如果我们仔细回顾，我们可能发现，生物进化呈现出来的方向和目标可能正产生于一大团无目的和无方向的组成部分，无需援引活力论或者其他什么超自然的解释。
