Let us not forget that The Humanities are a crucial part of our lives
since they allow us to explore the most basic of humanity through
areas corresponding to art, literature, self-expression, and even
human behavior. After reading, searching, and researching about
methods used for analyzing works from the humanities, I can
conclude that the process to study the humanities is indeed different
from other disciplines such as mathematics, the natural sciences, or
the social sciences. For example, researchers support their answers
and conclusions in the natural sciences based on experiments,
analysis, and exploration of a subject. In contrast, someone
researching an object from the humanities have gone the extra mile
and investigated and scrutinized the piece, for example, the author
who created it, the materials used to create the work, why the author
made it, and how was the social and physical environment at the
moment of the creation of the piece. In addition, when studying the
humanities, we are allowed to use more than facts, clues, or data to
successfully analyze the humanities. For instance, we can use our
feelings, our senses, and our beliefs to help us explore, appreciate,
and interpret the humanities.
