Gourt > Arts > Humanities (17)
The humanities are a group of academic subjects united by a commitment to studying aspects of the human condition and a qualitative approach that generally prevents a single paradigm from coming to define any discipline. The humanities are usually distinguished from the social sciences and the natural sciences and include subjects such as the Classics, Languages, Literature, Music, Philosophy, the Performing Arts, Religion and the Visual Arts. Other subjects, at times included as humanities in some parts of the world, include Archaeology, Area studies, Communications, Cultural studies and History, although these are often regarded as social sciences, elsewhere.
