[edit] Definition

The unicist ontology describes the concept (nature) of a given reality considering its functional unique structure. Although the ontology of a given reality is unique the perceptions within the structure might be multiple. These multiple perceptions define the credibility zone of the concept.

[edit] The unicist ontological approach to complexity

The unicist ontology describes the nature of ideas, facts, individuals and things, regarded from their essential, causative or functional (operational) aspects. In the short or long run, living beings and their deeds are consistent with their nature. The unicist ontology erases the existent barrier between the human arbitrary division of philosophy, science and action, by defining concepts that integrate them in a unified field. Approaching complex systems requires the knowledge of its ontology. The ontology of a certain reality is unique, since its essence (nature) is unique. Therefore, the existence of different “ontologies” for one functional reality is not possible. By knowing the ontology of a complex system, the system becomes reasonable, comprehensible and provable, and therefore it could be approached in scientific and operational terms. The Unicist Ontological approach implies the description of concepts that describe different “causative” levels. Ontointelligenceis required to describe concepts. In living beings, the concepts that define their nature are included within their biological system. On the other hand, external elements have extrinsic concepts, which are deposited by men. When the ontology of a certain reality is apprehended, it describes the most basic human functionalities. This explains why these functionalities do not mutate but just evolve. Operational concepts describe the functional aspects of a reality. Functional concepts describe the causative taxonomies of a reality. Essential concepts describe their essence in its oneness. A high level of ethical intelligence is required. Ontological research requires a very high level of abstraction: 1) Reasoning processes are used to approach the research of rational aspects. 2) Emotions are used to approach the research of emotional aspects. 3) Reflection is used to approach the research of ontological aspects. The hypotheses proposed by any of these three types of researches are falsified measuring facts. The unicist ontology is the integrating element of the unicist approach. Complex systems are open systems that determine the functionality of a unified field through the “conjunction” of objects and/or subsystems. Unicist Anthropology is an ontological approach to anthropology. It integrates human behavior both in its individual and social aspects. It is the engine that impulses the development of men’s conceptual approach to reality. Thus, the unicist ontology is an approach that sustains the management of complex problems by researching their conceptual structures.
