on the assumption of a Vitalism of essentially higher principles of that kind, which raise the organic, as an intrinsically higher level of reality, above merely inorganic matter, and constitute biology as an independent
science, and even if we regard the entelechy factor as simple and indivisible, there would only be an eductio e potentia materiae when a new
living being came into existence, if we excluded creation in this case in the way it is exemplified in the human soul, though that is
not very easy to prove, and at the same time rejected the
not at all absurd supposition that in the generation of new
life below the human level what happens is only the extension of the entelechial function of one and the same vital principle to a new position in space and time within inorganic matter.
For far from being a deviation from biblical truth, this setting of man over against the sum total of things, his subject - status and the object - status and mutual externality of things themselves, are posited in the very idea of creation and of man's position vis - a-vis nature determined by it: it is the condition of man meant in the Bible, imposed by his createdness, to be accepted, acted through...

life, and the student should raise questions about the meaning of what he studies and its relation to other fields; (b) controversial questions can be treated,
not in a spirit of indoctrination, but with an emphasis
on asking questions and helping students think through assumptions and implications; an effort should be made to present viewpoints other than one's own as fairly as possible, respecting the integrity of the student by avoiding undue imposition of the lecturer's beliefs; (c) presuppositions inevitably enter the classroom presentation of many subjects, so that a viewpoint frankly and explicitly recognized may be less dangerous than one which is hidden and assumed

living being are
not but rather come to be,» says Ludwig von Bertalanffy (BW 120), and his «organismic» biology and later general system - theory for overcoming the opposition between mechanism and vitalism has given central insights of Whitehead a new formulation
on the basis of
science, 8 Something similar holds for all the directions of research which Jean Piaget has brought to the [264] concept of genetic structuralism.9 The genetic epistemology founded by Piaget has proved through empirical research
on the problem of knowledge the fruitfulness both of genetic analysis and of Whitehead's principle of process.

living matter - for the Catholic faith obliges us to hold that souls are immediately created by God» [italics added].
