| Abstract: | The idea of unity was always a philosophy of thought, the ultimate aim of all metaphysical systems. All these systems aimed to overcome the multiplicity of phenomena of the empiric world, seeking a single, absolute principle that would explain them. The difference between philosophical systems consists only in determining the nature of this principle: matter, spirit, etc. Unification was ultimately equivalent to explaining, so that human thirst to explain phenomena was essentially translated by seeking their unity, the only principle which determines, ultimately, all of them. The issue was complicated in modern times, when, following detachment of philosophy and of increasing the differentiation of science, rose, on the one hand, the problem of explaining the unit of the world - thus the relationship between scientific and philosophical knowledge - and, secondly, the question of unity of science itself, of the particular scientific disciplines. Therefore, large modern philosophical systems have addressed, explicitly or implicitly the issue of science unity in close connection with the relationship between philosophy and science, thus knowledge unit problem in general. |
