Mechanism is the philosophical theory that all natural phenomena can be explained by laws of nature.
Vitalism states that the processes of life are not explicable by the laws of physics and chemistry alone and that life is in some part self-determining. This view employs "vital forces" to explain away things that haven't yet been explained by science.
