Synthetic Psychology, Religion and Unified Science
One outstanding feature of emergy synthesis is in terms of psychology, and the unification of religion and science. In the work of Scienceman, Emergy Synthesis applies not only to ecological systems, but also to our epistemology, language and way of inquiry. At heart is not only an attempt to include everyone in the discussion, but also every subdiscipline of social, spiritual biological and physical science. From this perspective, Scienceman has written, "The concept of GOD is merely a 'personification' of emergy" (1995, p.1). Underlying this approach is a commitment to the ideal of the unification of science.
H.T.Odum's epic 1994 text, is a classic demonstration of this attitude. Odum attempts to demonstrate how the nomenclatures and languages of many different traditions in the arts, and sciences can all be unified through a universal language, which he later called the Energy Systems Language.
