Theoretical unification in justice and beyond

Description

"The goal of scientific work is to understand more and more by less and less. In this effort, theoretical unification plays a large part. There are two main types of theoretical unification -- unification of different theories of the same field of phenomena and unification of theories of different fields of phenomena. Both types are usually a surprise; even when vigorously pursued, their form, when they finally appear, may differ radically from preconceptions. This paper examines a series of twenty-one unification surprises in the study of justice and beyond, sixteen in the study of justice and five in the unification of three fundamental sociobehavioral forces -- justice, status, and power -- and the subsequent unification of the three sociobehavioral forces with identity and with happiness"--Forschungsinstitut zur Zukunft der Arbeit web site.
