jan“Dynamism starts from the idea of voluntary activity, given by consciousness…: it has thus no difficulty in conceiving free force on the one hand and matter governed by laws on the other. Mechanism follows the opposite course. It assumes that the materials which it synthesizes are governed by necessary laws, and although it reaches richer and richer combinations, which are more and more difficult to foresee, and to all appearance more and more contingent, yet it never gets out of the narrow circle of necessity within which it at first shut itself up.”<br>—Henri Bergson, Time and Free Will: An Essay on the Immediate Data of Consciousness<br><a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.microblog.se/tag/dynamism" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#dynamism</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.microblog.se/tag/mechanism" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#mechanism</a>
