Talk:Élan vital

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I'm not getting how an idea conceived in the late 19th-early 20th century was the inspiration for Mary Shelley's novel written in 1818?! Perhaps I'm missing something... Gotterfunken 23:28, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WTH?

The idea of a "vital force" was around long before 1907. I think Aristotle came up with it and it was believed well into the age of modern science. I have no idea why a search for vital force led me here. --The Radio Star 21:13, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
