Unification theories have been central to much of our recent progress in the study of active galactic nuclei (AGN). These theories often explain the differences between some observationally defined classes of objects as due to what might be considered ‘uninteresting’ or nonfundamental parameters, such as viewing angle. In this presentation, I discuss not only such orientation-dependent unification theories, but also expand the concept to unification through other means, such as evolutionary effects.
