A similar train of ideas to Lotze’s is followed to-day by O. Hertwig, especially in his “Mechanismus und Biologie.” Lighter and more elegant was the polemic against vital force, and the outline of a mechanical theory which Du Bois-Reymond prefaced to his great work, “Untersuchungen über die tierische Electricität” . It did not go nearly so deep as Lotze’s essay, but perhaps for that very reason its phrases and epigrams soon became common property.
And in his lecture, “Mechanismus und Vitalismus,” in which he directs his attention especially to criticising Bütschli’s defence of mechanism, the only problem to which prominence is given is the one with which we are here concerned.
Professor Alphonse Favre's great work did not appear until 1867, and the "Mechanismus der Gebirgsbildung" of Professor Heim not till 1878; so that for an English public the subject was a fresh one.
