Ma`rifat Falsafi

Knowledge and science enjoyed some sort of unity and solidarity before modernity and the modern age. Although science included various domains, those domains formed a single unit in linking to one another and were not separable from one another. When the modernity began, however, there appeared a detachment and separation among different domains of human knowledge. The interdisciplinary studies movement, the systematic thought and some cultural and philosophical trends in the West, while considering the unitary among sciences, began to criticize the movement of modern science in the path of specialization and stressed that the specialist view lacks the necessary efficiency for fulfilling the needs and resolving the issues related to the Western civilization. In the present research, while critically introducing some Unitarian trends in the sphere of science, we investigate and analyze it from the view point of Islamic theosophy. It seems that science, in this view, enjoys some sort of solidarity and unity which was called philosophy (or theosophy) in our classic literature.
