The article showed Hans Driesch’s (1867−1941) evidence in favour of his neo-vitalistic concept. Although the first „proof of vitalism’’ led him to valuable scientific dicoveries, focusing on identifying and defining the basic morphogenetic processes (totipotency, within the processes of regeneration, prospective power and prospective meaning), other „evidence” are the concepts, which do not offer any revealing cognitive content both in the area of genetics and within the movements of organic animals including humans. However, they have specifically methodological value that is worthy of attention within widely understood the philosophy of nature.

The article focuses on the analysis of chosen fragments of Erich Fromm concerning his utopia of a healthy society based on a specific cathegory of ’’be’’.

The paper sketches the way in which Hans Driesch tried to work out the category of individuality as the specific conceptual category of biology, constituting a means of scientific research concerning specific characters of the living world.
