Mechanistic philosophy is correct approach
Animate things—plants, animals, the human body, etc—should be explained according to mechanistic principles, because mechanism shows how bodies interact with each other and with the world.
Such principles allow the application of physics to complicated phenomena and leads the way to understanding and knowledge of those systems.
 
René Descartes (1637) .

Note: Descartes both supports and disputes mechanism—because, on the one hand, he thinks bodies are mechanistic, but, on the other hand, he thinks that minds are mechanistic.
