Difference between Humanities and Social Sciences

Humanities vs. Social Sciences

Humanities and social sciences deal with human aspects like politics, law, linguistics, economics,
and psychology. One of the major differences between the two is that humanities involve a more
critical and analytical approach whereas social sciences deal with more of a scientific approach.
Humanities are a branch of science that deals with the heritage and the question of what makes us
human. Humanities deal with law, history, ancient languages, modern languages, philosophy,
history, religion, and visual/performing arts. Humanities are considered to be more philosophical
than social sciences. As there is a scientific approach to social sciences, it is considered to be a
branch of study in between humanities and natural sciences. Anthropology, criminology,
administration, archaeology, education, economics, psychology, linguistics, political science, law,
and history come under the purview of social sciences. The study of humanities can be traced back
to ancient Greece. It was during the Roman times that the concept of seven liberal arts developed
like; rhetoric and logic, grammar, music, astronomy, arithmetics, astronomy, and geometry. There
was a great shift, however, to the study of humanities in the 15th century. It was after the 15th
century that humanities were regarded as a subject to be studied rather than practiced. When
 talking about social sciences, Karl Marx, Emile Durkheim, and Max Weber are credited with giving it
a modern definition. Social sciences were influenced by the French revolution and the industrial
revolution. Social science was developed from prescriptive practices that were related to a group’s
social improvement, or through applied and
experimental sciences, or through the methodical knowledge of bases.

Difference Between Social Science and Humanities

Social Science is a branch of knowledge whose subject matter is society and the interrelationship
between individuals, as a member of society. Humanities is closely linked to social science, in the
sense that the two disciplines deal with human beings and their culture. Humanities refer to the
subject which tends to understand, acknowledge and analyze the human behavior in all its depth
and scope. Practically, as a human being, no field of study is more significant than social science. It
helps an individual to understand the society as a whole, i.e. the conditions which limits our growth
and development and the opportunities which can be tapped for better livelihood. It helps in creating
a society where human beings can live freely and happily. In this discussion, we will talk about the
main differences between humanities and social science.

Definition of Humanities
Humanities is a popular field of study, which is concerned with human society and culture, which
makes use of qualitative methods which are mainly analytical, critical or speculative. The subject
matter of humanities is thoughts, creations, development and actions of humankind in the past and
present. It tends to determine the defects in the mankind, as well as the ways to improve them.
Basically, humanities attempt to make a man, more human. And for that, it prescribes an ideal
behavior for an individual to be called as a cultured human being. Humanities explain an individual
about his/her origin, genesis, neighbors, and forefathers and also about the self. It introduces us to
the living being who we have never seen, places that we have never been, stories we have never
heard and ideas which we never wondered. It is a multifaceted domain which covers anthropology,
archaeology, history, linguistics and language, literature, philosophy, psychology, law and politics,
Arts, etc. Researches in humanities adds to the existing knowledge base about the world. It shows
the variance in culture and communities across the globe and across time.
