LIB 102: Human Questions
One way to explain humanities is as an area of study which endeavors to appreciate how
people process and record human civilizations and culture. Humanity is the study that principally
focuses on human and their way of life. These systematic explorations of queries arising from
human principles and traits like the aptitude to convey our emotions and feelings. Humanities is
different than other forms of research in both substance and information gathering methods.
Humanities trust on the exploration of different facets of human lives in which they are
concerned with ideas of means in which humans express their specific humanity. Items such as
the arts, history, linguistics, literature, and music are some of the fields of study included in
humanities. Science, for example, can’t answer all the queries about humanity and the
environment which means a comprehensive understanding of the world requires additional
studies and exploration are required.
Humanities can provide another outlook to understand humanity, one that in some
instances are more elaborate others than science. Science can treat people as things with no
drive; humans, in a scientific aspect, are mechanical things working in a multifaceted machine,
(Malik, 2007). This assessment has shortcomings; as opposed to focusing on human will, it can
appear to make it more complex than it necessary. Humanistic consideration of the world
addresses to the foolishness of science; to understand humanity and nature, science
disenfranchises from humanity because of its individuality, which is mindful of being with
purpose and agency (Malik, 2007). Science discounts itself from the very doctrines that lie at its
basis, implying it is not a consistent device for accepting humanity since it has a propensity of
, suspending critical properties of itself. To fully understand humanity, someone should ought to
think about taking on a view of the world from a solely humanistic perspective. Irrespective of
science’s massive contributions to the improvement of the human condition, scientific studies are
not enough to understand the world as it is. Over time, humans develop a trend of learning from
previous generation’s; after refining their circumstances, they learn from these improvements,
and in learning, they form a different culture of life, learning and growth. It is from this new,
learned ability that individualizes humans from other species. It is fundamental to understand
that improvements lead by a cultural and human-life concept created to improve living
conditions. Ultimately, the ability to extract ourselves and to be conscientious forces us to think
outside natural constraints and self-inflicted barriers. A humanistic study of the world gives a
better understanding of humanity and so helps to adopt problems in a more resourceful manner
than science. For example, as man developed an awareness of the world and all its many aspects
prior to instigating any scientific studies implicating an idea that humanism may have possibly
aided in the manifestation of science.
Scientific findings are hardly enough to fully comprehend the world and in both “Can
Science Explain Everything?”, (Hutchinson & Randall, 2011) and “Six Signs of Scientism,”
(Haack, 2012), these authors address the questions of scientism. As these authors attempt to
answer whether science can explain everything related to science and choose to try to answer
questions including those about music, art, and literature, they could help other comprehend if
the world is more than just scientific studies.
Humanistic research assumes the critical role to act as tools to complement scientific
research. The writings of both Drs. Hutchinson and Randall include collections of lectures
debating science as the singular research set to support deeper investigations of the world around
