Unified Philosophy: Interdisciplinary Metaphysics, Ethics, and
Liberal Arts demonstrates how an integrated vision of metaphysics,
ethics, and hermeneutics can serve as an underlying philosophy for
general education or liberal arts courses and programs. Its unique
approach elevates such courses to orientation and reorientation
courses and seminars within higher education. The book introduces
and reintroduces concepts in philosophy in ethics for students and
faculty. It underscores that philosophy is theoretical and applied
metaphysics; metaphysics is applied ethics and hermeneutics; and
ethics and hermeneutics are applied metaphysics. The opening
chapter explores metaphysics: inquiry into reality. It consists of
two sections: part and whole; and change and stability. Part and
whole involve four positions about reality: part-alone, holistic or
limited part, part-whole dualism, or whole-alone. Change and
stability also entail four positions about reality: change-alone,
holistic or directed change, change-stability dualism, or
stability-alone. In turn, each of the eight positions integrates
the apparently unrelated languages of game theory, mereology,
functions, sets, virtue ethics, phenomenology, cybernetics, and
ergonomics/human factors. Chapter One forms the model of which the
remaining chapters are applications. The third edition expands
Alphonse Chapanis' environment-user interface to four interfaces:
environment-environment, environment-person, person-environment,
and person-person interfaces. New chapters include Chapter One,
Chapter Two, and Chapter Seven. Chapter Two examines positivism
through subjectivity spectrum. Chapter Seven examines management
reality including authority. Written in recognition of ethics and
metaphysics as fundamental components of philosophy and the quest
for wisdom, Unified Philosophy is a thought-provoking text for
students of theology, ethics, law, medicine, and engineering,
education, and city planning/environmental science.
