What is the humanities and social sciences?

Interpretation of Humanities and Social Sciences: "Humanities and Social Sciences" is the humanities and social sciences, which is the general name of humanities and social sciences.

Humanities and social sciences are sometimes called philosophy and social sciences, social sciences and liberal arts. As a relatively independent knowledge system, humanities and social sciences is a vague and controversial basic concept, which involves the understanding of basic theoretical issues such as cognitive activities, scientific demarcation standards and knowledge classification.

1, Humanities: Humanities originally refers to knowledge related to human interests, which is different from the theology dominated by the medieval church. Later, this meaning has evolved several times, including philosophy, linguistics, art and so on.

The focus and research object of humanities are mainly about people's spirit, culture, values and concepts. The research objects and researchers have strong subjectivity, individuality, variability and richness.

Humanities can borrow some research methods from social sciences, such as statistics, demonstration and logical deduction, but humanities also have their own special research methods, such as psychoanalysis, philosophical reflection and epiphany intuition. Humanities include literature, history, philosophy, art, religion, aesthetics and ethics.

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

It is difficult to distinguish between humanities and social sciences, both of which are related to human education, culture, wisdom and virtue.
