A UNIFIED THEORY AND THE FIFTH ERA OF PHILOSOPHY

GEORGE MCMILLAN

Abstract:

This paper argues that since the three barriers of achieving a unified theory of the behavioral sciences as described by Gintis 2009 was achieved in two previous papers; and the field of philosophy can readily be placed into a hypothetico-deductive modeling standards to meet the criteria of Popper 1952 and Homans 1964; and can be placed into a Cartesian modeling format to meet the criteria of Harsanyi 1971 in the same papers, then all of the major abstract concepts explained by the text of Leo Strauss and Josephy Cropsey have already been systematized into a qualitative modeling format as the precursor to linking the model to existing economic and demographic statistical models, then the Fifth Era of Behavioral Scientific Philosophy has already begun by the interdisciplinary economic and social sciences.

Keywords: Unified Theory, Unification of the behavioral sciences. Fifth Era of Philosophy.
