Until the twentieth century, the theoretical demarcation line in the study of living processes resided in the debate between physicalism and vitalism. Physicalists claimed there was no fundamental difference between living organisms and inanimate matter. Living phenomena could therefore be studied and explained with the methods and laws of physics. This approach was strongly opposed by vitalists, who postulated that living organisms had properties that could not be reduced to physics or chemistry and, therefore, biological phenomena could not be analysed with the concepts or methods of those sciences. The advancement of cellular and evolutionary theories showed that traditional explanations for living processes, like Newtonian physics or non-material life forces, were inadequate. To resolve this challenge, a new concept emerged: organicism. Organicism explains life processes by relying on physiochemical and evolutionary concepts [1].
