" Organisms and Their Origin 129 "But the man of science, who, forgetting the limits of philosophical inquiry, slides from these formulae and symbols into what is commonly un- derstood by materialism, seems to me to place him- self on a level with the mathematician who should mistake the x's and y's with which he works his problems for real entities; and 'with this further disadvantage as compared with the mathematician that the blunders of the latter are of no practical consequence, while the ...errors of systematic ma- terialism may paralyze the energies and destroy the beauty of life. " As Prof. Karl Pearson puts it in his " Grammar of Science": "The problem of whether life is or is not a mechanism, is not a question of whether the same things, 'matter' and 'force, ' are or are not at the back of organic and inorganic phe- nomena of what is at the back of either class of sense-impressions we know absolutely nothing but of whether the conceptual shorthand of the physicist, this ideal world of ether, atom, and molecule, will or will not also suffice to describe the biologist's perceptions.
