1904 J. McCabe tr. E. Haeckel Wonders of Life xix. 464 It would seek these in psychic forces. On our monistic principles they are not immaterial forces, but based on the general sensation of substance, which we call psychoma [Ger. Psychoma], and add to energy and matter as a third attribute of substance.

1909 McCabe tr. E. Haeckel in A. C. Seward Darwin & Mod. Sci. viii. 142 To the two fundamental attributes that Spinoza ascribed to substance—Extension (matter as occupying space) and Cogitation (energy, force)—we now add the third fundamental quality of Psychoma (sensitiveness, soul).

1971 Jrnl. Hist. Ideas 32 276 Although not novel to his [sc. Haeckel's] system—the Psychoma was a formalization of the ‘cell-soul’ concept, extended to inorganic matter.
