Human science is a term applied to the investigation of human life and activities by arational,systematic andverifiablemethodology that acknowledges the validity of bothdata derived by impartial observation of sensory experience (objective phenomena) and data derived by means of impartial observation of psychological experience (subjective phenomena). It includes but is not necessarily limited to fields of study commonly included within thesocial sciences andhumanities, includingpsychology,sociology,anthropology,history,philosophy, andeconomics.
Its use of anempirical methodology that encompasses psychological experience contrasts to the purelypositivistic approach typical of thenatural sciences (which exclude all methods not based solely on external sensory observations). Thus the term is often used to distinguish not only the content of a field of study from those of the natural sciences, but also its methodology.
However, the present category considers primarily theinterdisciplinary aspect ofHuman science, as e.g. insocio-cultural anthropology
