Abstract
Starting with the principle of the unity of the real, this study aims at ov ercoming the dichotomy which obtains between the natural and the human scie nces. The author opens with an examination of the relationship between scie nce and faith, before moving on to a particular application (of the theory involved) to the principle of causality: how does one move beyond the purel y functionalist way in which causality is understood in the physical scienc es.
