Abstract
Being influenced by the environment, the unicist approach passed through a scientific and philosophic approach in its step by step discovery process. The final maturity was achieved when it was established in the field of the research on adaptive systems using a complexity scientific approach.
Unicist ontology has an extreme difference with a philosophical approach. Its purpose is not to exert influence but to generate added value. What it has in common with philosophy is the action of apprehending the nature of reality. But, being its objective the adding of value, it needs secure knowledge in order to produce that added value.
It has to be said that in order to exert influence, which is the objective of philosophy, there is no need for the knowledge to be true. To exert influence it is more important that knowledge be believed than functional.
An example of this aspect is Marxism. Marx’s dialectical approach is a fallacy although it has been believed as true for many years.
The objective of the unicist ontology is to add value which requires having secure knowledge. Therefore ideologies, which are the catalysts and entropy inhibitors of philosophies, are replaced by knowledge.
