... can explain everything in the world through natural law. The Ionian Enchantment was the first attempt towards consilience in Wilson's eyes. The Enchantment wanted to unify the sciences such as physics, biology, chemistry, etc. to create common natural laws. However one cannot study the sciences separately because it would create confusion. Confusion "occurs wherever argument or inference passes from one world ... that makes sense and the outcome is dreaming (82). Wilson tries to explain his idea of consilience by using a labyrinth as an example. He places physics at the doorway to the m...
