Ömer E.: The unity of science movement, with its six International Congresses for the Unity of Science (1935–41) and the ambitious publication project International Encyclopedia of Unified Science (1938–70), had a broader cultural meaning and goal, most notably the attempt to improve the human condition and to promote social reform and the intellectual struggle against irrationalism and totalitarian Weltanschauungen . It was a manifestation of a late- Enlightenment conception of science with a socially inspired anti- metaphysics. Between the two world wars meta-physics was seen as a correlative feature of German idealism as well as of (Austro- )Fascist ‘universalism’, as represented by the economist Othmar Spann.
