Special sciences and the unity of science

"Science is a dynamic process in which the assimilation of new phenomena, perspectives, and hypotheses into the scientific corpus takes place slowly. The apparent disunity of the sciences is the unavoidable consequence of this gradual integration process. Some thinkers label this dynamical circumstance a 'crisis'. However, a retrospective view of the practical results of the scientific enterprise and of science itself, grants us a clear view of the unity of the human knowledge seeking enterprise. This book provides many arguments, case studies and examples in favor of the unity of science. These contributions touch upon various scientific perspectives and disciplines such as: Physics, Computer Science, Biology, Neuroscience, Cognitive Psychology, and Economics"--Publisher.

  • "As it was expressed in the Introduction to the volume on Neurath (vol. 18 of the series LEUS), science is a dynamic process in which the assimilation of new phenomena, perspectives and hypotheses and their subsequent organization in the scientific corpus takes place just slowly. Therefore, a permanently landscape of apparent disunity is an unavoidable consequence of the scientific gradual integration process. Some thinkers prefer to label this recurrent circumstance 'crisis', but they seem to ignore its temporary nature. Only a retrospective view on the practical results of scientific enterpri."@en
