[126] "Ici, a prendre les mots dans le sens ordinaire, il semble qu'il soit demontre qui _la Creation est impossible_, principe justement cher au Pantheisme; tandis qu'au fond, tout ce qui est demontre, c'est que _l'Etre en soi est necessairement incree_,--verite incontestable, dont _le Pantheisme n'a rien a tirer_."--PROF.

The doctrine of Materialism stands equally related to the "mechanical" form of Atheism, and to the "hylozoic" form of Pantheism. It is subsumed in both, and is the fundamental postulate on which they respectively depend.
