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.
