Also known as arts and humanities

Humanities are academic disciplines that study aspects of human society and culture, including certain fundamental questions asked by humans. During the Renaissance, the term "humanities" referred to the study of classical literature and language, as opposed to the study of religion, or "divinity". The study of the humanities was a key part of the secular curriculum in universities at the time. Today, the humanities are more frequently defined as any fields of study outside of natural sciences, social sciences, formal sciences (like mathematics), and applied sciences (or professional training)

AI overview

The humanities are academic fields that explore human society, culture, and fundamental questions people ask about existence and meaning. They matter because they provide ways of understanding ourselves and our world that go beyond what natural sciences, mathematics, and professional training can offer.

Humaniora är de ämnen som studerar människan som kulturell varelse. Hit räknas ämnen som etnologi, filosofi, historia, idéhistoria, , estetik, konstvetenskap, retorik, språk och litteraturvetenskap. Till humanvetenskaperna räknas dessa samt även sociologi, pedagogik, kulturantropologi och psykologi. Vidare räknas ibland även religionsvetenskap eller teologi till humaniora, även om dessa ämnen vid Uppsala universitet har egna fakulteter. Vid Lunds universitet tillhör de samma fakultet sedan 2010. Humaniora kännetecknas av kvalitativ forskning och ett hermeneutiskt förhållningssätt i en tradition som ursprungligen kommer från teologin.
