The difference between humanities and social sciences

Humanism originally refers to knowledge related to human interests, which is different from theology dominated by the church in the Middle Ages. In a narrow sense, it refers to the study of Latin, Greek and classical literature, including philosophy, economics, politics, history, law, literature and art, ethics and linguistics.

social science

Social science refers to the study of social phenomena, such as politics, economics, military science, law, education, literature and art, history, linguistics, ethnology, religion, sociology and so on. Its task is to study and expound various social phenomena and their development laws.

It's hard to tell the difference

As can be seen from the above definition, it is difficult to clearly distinguish between humanities and social sciences, both of which are related to human education, culture, wisdom and virtue.

Personality aspect

The difference is that the humanities directly studies people's needs, wills, emotions and desires, and emphasizes people's subjective psychology, cultural life and other personality aspects.
