Hylozoism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Hylozoism is the philosophical doctrine that all or some material things possess life. In the Renaissance, Bernardino Telesio and Giordano Bruno revived the doctrine of hylozoism. Hylozoism in this contemporary neurobiological tradition is thus restricted to the portions of nature behaving nomically inside the minds, namely the minds' sensory reactions (Christfried Jakob's "sensory intonations") whereby minds react to the stimuli coming from the hylozoic hiatus or extramental realm. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Hylozoism   (787 words)

Panpsychism It is closely related to the theory of hylozoism, which teaches that all matter is endowed with life. As synonymous with hylozoism must be regarded the word panbiotism which was coined by Paul Carus to distinguish his theory from the panpsychism of Häckel ("Monist", 1892-93, III, 234-57). Between panpsychism and hylozoism there is no sharp distinction, because the ancient hylozoists not only regarded the spirits of the material universe and plant world as alive, but also as more or less conscious. www.catholicity.com /encyclopedia/p/panpsychism.html   (976 words)

Talk:Animism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Hylozoism has a bit much emphasis on materialism, and not enough on consciousness and individual volition. Hylozoism is not the same as a belief in spirits, nor is about knowing how to distinguish persons with whom one might give and receive respect and gifts, but it is more closely synonymous with "panpsychism", the theory that matter is inherently consious in some sense. Hylozoism and panpsychism might be defined as "narrow animisms" (of the "new" kind). en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Talk:Animism   (2097 words)

CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Hylozoism To this problem Spinoza offered a solution, which, combining materialistic with pantheistic hylozoism, held the balance even between matter and mind by reducing both to the rank of mere attributes of the one infinite substance. From what has been said, then, it follows that it would be an error to see in hylozoism a mere doctrine of physical life; for instance, the affirmation of spontaneous generation.

Systematic Theology - Volume I (iv.iii.iii) Hylozoism, from ὕλη, matter, and ζωή, life, is properly the doctrine that matter is endued with life. All matter, and every particle of matter, besides its physical properties, has a principle of life in itself, which precludes the necessity of assuming any other cause for the phenomena of life exhibited in the world. The relation, however, of the soul to the body, is a very imperfect illustration of the relation of God to the world according to the hylozoistic system. www.ccel.org /ccel/hodge/theology1.iv.iii.iii.html?bcb=0   (514 words)

New Catholic Dictionary: hylozoism   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21) Animism, the earliest form of hylozoism, was the basis of primitive religion, and on it the Ionian school of philosophers built their system. The doctrine reappeared in Christian countries with the nature philosophers of the Renaissance, Paracelsus, Cardanus, Giordano Bruno, etc. Spinoza combined the materialistic and pantheistic forms, and reduced mind and matter to the rank of attributes of one infinite substance. Scientific hylozoism, as adhered to by Hackel, Spencer, Lotze, etc., protests against a mechanical view of the world, but tends to make all beings conform to a uniform pattern. www.catholic-forum.com /saints/ncd04087.htm   (173 words)

Hylozoism Hylozoism is one of the topics in focus at Global Oneness. This is equivalent to recognizing the hierarchies of gods, in contrast with the notion that one "Supreme Architect" concerns himself directly with the innumerable details of the inferior ranges of the universe.

Article 8 : THE LIGHTED HOUSE Spiritual Center for Astrological and Metaphysical Studies THE LIFE IN Hylozoism is defined in the Random House Collegiate Dictionary as "the doctrine that matter is inseparable from life, which is a property of matter." Webster's Dictionary defines hylozoism as "a doctrine held esp. by early Greek philosophers that all matter has life." All forms are composed of many forms, and all forms--aggregated or single in nature--are the expression of an indwelling or ensouling life. This consciousness varies according to the natural receptivity of the form, according to its point in evolution, and to its position also in the great chain of Hierarchy." (P.

Classics in the History of Psychology -- Baldwin (1913) Volume I, Chapter 3 This led to the theory of "hylozoism," according to which all the world of reality is endowed with life, and the living or self-moving thing is the seat of the soul. It is, therefore, properly described by the term hylozoism. It is the first step toward a more individual and reflective point of view -- similar to that taken by the child -- leading away from the social or collective zoömorphism of racial interpretation. psychclassics.yorku.ca /Baldwin/History/chap1-3.htm   (5609 words)

Hylozoism and Dogmatism   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21) First, the argument that Kant presents in the MAdN is dogmatic, whereas the discussions of inertia and natural philosophy found in Newton and Leibniz are not. Second, in his attempts to deny the thesis of hylozoism, Kant does not consistently use the concept of matter as either a pure concept or an empirical concept. And, third, while some have argued that the MAdN fills a gap in the KdrV, it might be just as fair to say that the KdrV, in particular the "Amphiboly" chapter, fills a gap in Kant’s argument against hylozoism in the MAdN by rescuing it from dogmatism. www2.hu-berlin.de /phil/kantkongress/14/look.html   (152 words)

[No title] Meanwhile, with the ancient crypto-archaic and real Greek atomists, we are still in the realm of the Concrete; however, it is noteworthy that in latency, „pre-Socratic“ hylozoism was already concerned with rudimentary questions about the general and the specific, the universal and the particular. In „pre-Socratic“ hylozoism, the differentiation between phýsis and psyché, between antikeímenon and hypokeímenon, was a pure methodological matter, but not an essential or substantial division. Already ancient Greek hylozoism was battling to give answers to the above questions; in fact, these intellectual efforts form the base of their epistemological reflections about the arché and hýle, about idea and form. www.homestead.com /pandemonium3/files/praxistheory00009.html   (4426 words)

[No title] In reality, it was a synthesis of Heracleitean Hylozoism and Cynicism, but in its evolutionary process it very soon lost its panvitalistic and panpsychic philosophic antecedents. This simply means that it had discarded its materialist negation, and thus degenerated into a religious-idealist affirmation within Graeco-Roman philosophy, in fact, into feudalist ideology. Consequently, contrary to Cynicism, it was essentially a ruling class ideology. www.franz-lee.org /files/praxistheory00016.html   (7733 words)
