vitalist
A vitalist is a person who believes in the doctrine of vitalism, which holds the view that life and all its functions cannot be explained solely by physical or chemical means, but involve a vital principle or life force distinct from mechanistic forces. Vitalists argue that the processes of life are not explicable by the laws of physics and chemistry alone and that life is self-determining and not reducible to mechanical or genetic processes.
