What are Humanities?

Humans attempt to understand our relationship to ourselves, to others, to our past, to the future, to nature, and to the spiritual world.

Humanities

embrace literature, language, music, art and even history and philosophy.

Humanities!!! Why study them?

“Knowledge and skills alone cannot lead humanity to a happy and dignified life. Humanity has every reason to place the proclaimers of high moral standards and values above the discoverers of objective truth. What humanity owes to personalities like Buddha, Moses, and Jesus ranks for me higher than all the achievements of the inquiring and constructive mind.” (Einstein)
