distinction between animate and inanimate bodies does not exist. ...
[All natural phenomena, whether] a stone … thrown into the air ...
[or] sulphur and quicksilver ... [uniting] in forming cinnabar ...
[are] neither more nor less a mechanical manifestation of life than
the growth and flowering of plants, than the propagation of ani-
mals or the activity of their senses, than the perception or the for-
mation of thought in man. 3
In fact, Haeckel was deceiv-
ing himself by imagining that he
had found the answers to many
questions with a materialist per-
spective. The materialist view,
that there is no difference be-
tween animate and inanimate
bodies and that everything has
a mechanical explanation, has
