The problematic relationship between science and philosophy has, since thebeginning of modernity, divided the world into two separate domains: nature andhuman. Some of today's schools of philosophy and epistemological inquiry havemaintained a radical separation to the point where they refuse to maintain anycommonality within the two. We argue that such a dichotomy will not onlydestroy the idea of the unity of knowledge from a theoretical perspective but,it will destroy a unified understanding of reality. This article is a critiqueof now mainstream belief of such dichotomy through re-reading of Leibniz's ideaon the unity of knowledge. The distinctive feature of Leibniz's approach, whichwas specifically laid down in his correspondence with Clarke, is that his wayof reasoning is philosophical as well as physical. In Leibniz's view whatguarantees the soundness of philosophical principles cannot defy the laws ofphysics. We shall also demonstrate that Chaos Theory is consistent with theaffinities of Leibniz's approach. The main focus of this article is onre-evaluating views on causal determinism and randomness as well as free will.The final claim of this article is that the natural world and human worldfollow the same causal deterministic laws, and that causal laws are howevernonlinear. Knowledge of our reality should be rigorously sought in both thedomains of humanities and natural sciences, but this causal determinism shoulddistance itself from a simple linear causal model. What is thought of as randomevents or probabilistic events in the physical world, as well as in the humanworld, are not ontologically run by chance. The complexity and vastness ofreality are such that our knowledge of reality always suffers a lack, and it isthis lack of knowledge that is usually being called randomness.
