...doctrine means. Mr. Fiske reproduces Spencer's doctrine of evolution, and adopts his famous definition, as follows : " Evolution is an integration of matter...retained motion undergoes a parallel transformation." Of this definition much might be said. The word indefinite must not be taken strictly for that which...

...Evolution. — The definition of this term, as given by its great expositor and advocate, Herbert Spencer, is as follows : " Evolution is an integration of matter,...retained motion undergoes a parallel transformation." First Prin., 2nd ed. p. 396. This definition will scarcely, however, make it evident how the great...

...Further qualifications contained in a succeeding chapter, bring the formula to this final form — " Evolution is an integration of matter and concomitant...retained motion undergoes a parallel transformation." Now if these various traits of the process of Evolution are kept simultaneously in view, it will be...

...thus :—Evolution is an integration of matter and concomitant dissipation of motion; during which tho matter passes from an indefinite, incoherent homogeneity...retained motion undergoes a parallel transformation. CHAPTER XVIIT. THE INTERPRETATION OF EVOLUTION. § 140. Is this law ultimate or derivative ? Must we...

We should, therefore, a priori,...matter and concomitant absorption of motion, during whieb the matter passes from a definite, coherent heterogeneity to an indefinite, incoherent homogeneity,...

...Spencer's arguments. MR. HERBERT SPENCER defines evolution in the sense used by the Darwinian school as follows: — ' Evolution is an integration of matter...retained motion undergoes a parallel transformation.' ' Interpreted by the close reasoning of the 395 pages which precede this formula in the work indicated,...

What usually occurs in the latter case is indicated by the following definition3: — 'Evolution is an integration of matter and concomitant...retained motion undergoes a parallel transformation.' The presence of much retained internal motion in an aggregate undergoing condensation, is the peculiarity...
