The role of biology in the unity of science program

pp. 181-190

Abstract

Making a distinction between unity and unification and within Carnap"s framework, we will proceed to determine the program of the unity of science as the integration of scientific laws and theories. After that, the role of an evolutionary theory – the Darwinian hypothesis – in this program is examined in a contemporary proposal that seeks the sources of normic laws.
