The Mechanistic Philosophy

Mechanistic philosophy is a way of understanding the universe as a vast, interconnected system governed by natural laws, much like a machine. It views matter as composed of small, solid particles that interact predictably through these laws. This perspective suggests that everything—from planets to living organisms—can be explained through physical processes without invoking spiritual or supernatural forces. Essentially, it treats nature as a large, complex machine where understanding its parts and how they work together helps explain how everything functions.
