Epistemological Pathology of Humanities (relativism is the fundamental problem of humanities)
Author(s):
Abstract:
A section of human-made sciences are called humanities nowadays which studies human through experimental methods. It is also called experimental anthropology and its subject is definite human not general and indefinite human. The existing humanities is a collection of systematic statements which explain and interpret the existing human's personal and social attitudes using experimental methods and non-experimental bases. It guides the existing human to the ideal and desirable human by ethical and legal recommendations. The perspective of humanities in various fields is based on epistemic relativism which does not result the discovery of human understanding. The real and true knowledge of humanities should be based on epistemic realism and should have a criterion for knowledge to be able to recognize the characteristics of an eminent person.
