EntelechyA term from philosophy of biology, introduced by Hans Driesch, to explain the
appearance of life. This reflects an episode in the history of biology when it
was debated whether life arises from biological complexity alone, or whether a
non-material entity needs to be added to organic material to produce a living
being.
