Bridging the Natural and Human Sciences

Joseph Margolis

I offer an argument for reconceiving the unity of sciences, along pragmatist lines, on the thesis that every science is a human science and that the human investigator, the human self, is a cultural artifact, which affects the kind of unity that is possible. The idea depends on locating the work of the pragmatists in terms of Hegelian and Darwinian considerations.
