Talk:Hylozoism

message: Deduced from 1) Random House Webster's Dictionary, which indicates date of first use between 1670-1680.  2) This article cites Henry More and Ralph Cudworth as active during this time, and 3) Cudworth's work The True Intellectual System of the Universe which discusses hylozoism, was published in 1678.

replies: text: It works for me, although the OED would be better than a deduction. :-)  I will see if I can get near a print OED to be sure.  Geogre 10:40, 4 November 2005 (UTC)

message: The view of Spinoza is not correct. He held the materialist kind of hylozoism,, but did sometimes use words from the panpsychism view. (He was exciled for this materialist kind of hylozoism) JaapBO
*Hmm.  See, to me it's very back and forth in Spinoza.  His is the most fluid of those covered.  However, if you have a clear way of explaining it, why not write it up here on the talk page, and we can discuss and include it?  Geogre 14:06, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

message: This goes right from Enc.Brit.1911 "contemporary," Haeckel, to obscure original research of today that is wildly tangential to "hylozoism." jb (talk) 22:14, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Contemporary hylozoism ?? 

message: Well, this is all pretty weird stuff. But I cut The hylozoist whom Cudworth had especially in mind is Thomas Hobbes . because Hobbes seems an unlikely hylozoist (his biog doesn't mention it) and the closest I can find in http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/cambridge-platonists/#RalCud appears to say that Cudworth thinks Hobbes is a an example of a Hylopathian atheist, which is obviously totally different. Or not, it is hard to tell William M. Connolley (talk) 16:30, 18 December 2010 (UTC)

message: In the following segment "Immanuel Kant presented arguments against hylozoism in the third chapter of his Metaphysische Anfangsgründe der Naturwissenschaften ("First Metaphysical Principles of Natural Science," 1786) and also in his famous Kritik der reinen Vernunft ("Critique of Pure Reason," 1783)." it would be beneficial to state what these arguments are.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by DesdinovaUK (talk • contribs) 21:26, 13 June 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Contemporary Hylozoism 

message: The article alludes to hylozoism in ancient greek philosophy, and some of the sources mention that pre-socratic philosophers were hylozoic. I think it would make sense to have a section on hylozoism in ancient greek philosophy, right above the section on renaissance hylozoism. What do people think?

replies: text: I went ahead and added a small section, making use of one of the sources already used (Skrbina's book), which has alot of information on hylozoism in ancient philosophy. I think this section could be expanded, since I only mention hylozoism in Plato and later Greek philosophers, and I'm sure there's alot more to be said about them.
