186 THE SCIENCE OF POWER 



III. Power is ike capacity for utilizing Force or 



Energy by integration that is to say, by 

 organization, so as to produce more in- 

 tense or higher results in one place than 

 would otherwise be possible. 



IV. Power is the characteristic or constituent 



quality of life as Force is the character- 

 istic or constituent quality of the material 

 universe. 



V. Life in all its forms is a process of integra- 

 tion that is to say, of organization, of 

 Force or Energy. 



The mind which brought us to the fundamental 

 law of evolution in life as Newton brought us to the 

 fundamental law of the material universe was 

 Darwin's. Darwin and Herbert Spencer gave us 

 the first law of evolution in life in stating the prin- 

 ciple which is summarized in the expression sur- 

 vival of the fittest, or, in another form, natural 

 selection. Both these formulae have been radically 

 criticized. " To say that to survive is to be the 

 fittest is merely to tell us that to be the fittest is to 

 survive. To say that life progresses by natural 

 selection is merely to tell us that life progresses 

 in the manner in which it does progress." So the 

 criticism has run. Something essential is said to 

 be missing.
