The relationship between science and philosophy is predicated on the concept that the dichotomy between the two disciplines were artificially created in order to achieve various desirable ends. It is further contended that this dichotomy now no longer serves mankind and is being replaced by a 'discipline' that not only brings science and philosophy into a relationship, but virtually unifies them. In order to support this assertion, an extensive literature review is conducted in the paper, tracing both the separation and reunification of science and philosophy. In addition, new material is sought from current thinkers in both nominal fields, science and philosophy. In the field of philosophy, additional new material is sought from contemporary metaphysicians. The information is developed as a qualitative study, with emphasis on drawing the parallels between pre-Greek concepts of science and philosophy and today's drive toward recombining the two. paper Outline: Abstract Introduction and Statement of the Problem Review of the Literature and Research Questions Methodology The Relationship Between Science and Philosophy: Return to Unity The Path Toward a Relationship Toward the Modern World References
