Theory of everything (philosophy)

Theory of Everything in philosophy is an attempt to provide an overall explanation of everything in terms of certain fundamental or all-encompassing principles, ideas, themes or structures. This goes beyond the Theory of Everything in physics, since the philosopher is also trying to explain consciousness, morality, God, and so on.

Examples of "Theory of Everything" philosophies include Platonism, Hegelianism, the "Will to Power" theory of Nietzsche, and the Integral Philosophy of Ken Wilber in the modern day.

Some critics assert that a philosophical theory of everything is not possible, or that attempts to construct one are flawed.
