Unitatea stiintei intre inertie epistemica si necesitate
Unity of Science between Epistemic Inertia and Necessity

Summary/Abstract: The idea of unity accompanies science since its origins, the science being born within the spirit of unity. This historical connection can be considered as a necessity of idea topicality, the science unity being regarded only as an epistemic inertia. The analysis of the realities within the scientific research shows that it is also an inner necessity. In this article we will support the idea of unity as an internal necessity of science. Firstly, we will undertake a brief historical analysis, a review of the way in which the transfer from unit to discontinuity was made, mentioning Francis Bacon and the French encyclopaedists. Subsequently, capturing the unity between inertia and necessity, we will present three major theoretical directions regarding the unity of science (encyclopaedias, reductionism and transdisciplinarity) and how they work within the current scientific paradigm.
