Unity was meant as a tool for cooperation and it was motivated by the need for successful treatment prediction and control of complex phenomena in the real world that involved properties studied by different theories or sciences (from real forest fires to social policy): unity of science at the point of action (Cat, Cartwright and Chang 1996).
This "Unity of Science" approach, which sees biology as the lowest physical science and mathematics as the highest science, is part of a Western belief system, often called the Great Chain of Being (or Scala Natura), that sees knowledge emerge as one passes from biology to chemistry to physics to mathematics, in an ascending progression of reason being purification from matter.
The Nagel model of theory reduction offers a clear vision of the "unity of science" (see the entry on unity of science).
