|Abstract=The topic of unity in the sciences includes the following questions: Is there
one privileged, most basic kind of material, and if not, how are the
different kinds of material in the universe related? Can the various natural
sciences (physics, astronomy, chemistry, biology) be unified into a single
overarching theory, and can theories within a single science (e.g., general
relativity and quantum theory in physics) be unified? Does the unification
of these parts of science involve only matters of fact or are matters of
value involved as well? What about matters of method, material,
institutional, ethical and other aspects of intellectual cooperation?
Moreover, what kinds of unity in the sciences are there, and is unification
merely a relation between concepts or terms (i.e., a matter of semantics),
or is it also a relation between the theories, people, objects, or objectives
that they are part of? And is the relation one of reduction, translation,
explanation, logical inference, collaboration or something else?
