Instance Specification Mechanistic Approach of Descartes
"... the so-called mechanistic approach in science. The latter was epitomized in the Third Axiom of Descartes' Discours de la methode, which states that one should 'start with the simplest objects most easy of discernment, in order to rise gradually step by step to an understanding of the most complex' - a statement which summarizes the analytical or reductionist approach. In contrast to this, we are now confronted with problems loosely indicated by terms like system, organization, and the like." - Bertalanffy
