Category:Human sciences
From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.
Human sciences is the combination of those sciences and disciplines that relate to typically human activity.
Basicly, Human sciences encompass social sciences and humanities, including art.
Usually Human sciences are also understood to have extentions towards those applied sciences that pre-suppose a high degree of human interaction, like economics, architecture, etc...
Human sciences are usually not seen as a separate academic discipline, although:
- Sometimes Human sciences are considered, more or less loosely, as a synonym to humanities;
- In other contexts Human sciences are treated as a subdivision of e.g. philosophy or literature.
However, the present category considers primarily the interdisciplinary aspect of Human sciences, as e.g. in socio-cultural anthropology
