Abstract
We have chosen to address the question of the Unity of the human sciences because it is surely evident both to the internal and the external observer of the scene that the current sciences of man have gravitated into a situation of crisis. A discord has settled in on this scene, producing a veritable Tower of Babel in which each of the several human sciences speaks with its own tongue, resulting in a distressing breakdown of communication not only within the human sciences but within the republic of human knowledge more generally.
