REGENERATION 191 



must either be accepted as an independent 

 proof of vitalism, or be reduced to the problem 

 of morphogenesis without machine-like pre- 

 formation, i.e., the problem of harmonious 

 equipotentiality already discussed." 



We have now considered two of Driesch's 

 three reasons, those which are germane to the 

 present point in our inquiries, and the more 

 they are pondered over the more unanswerable 

 they will appear. 



But we are by no means at an end of our 

 inquiries, for there are other difficulties to be 

 met and other lines of argument to be con- 

 sidered. 



In the next chapter we shall again traverse 

 most of the ground of this chapter, but we 

 shall do so in a different way and for the 

 purpose of looking at the same facts and, in 

 a measure, the same proofs, from a different 

 point of view. This must be pardoned since 

 it may be expected that some of the readers 

 of this book may find from unfamiliarity with 

 biological discussions that it is not easy to 

 follow these arguments. Those which are now 

 to be submitted may help to clear matters up.
