Revision as of 18:47, 21 February 2007
Scope of HumanScience
- The subject matter of HumanScience is humanity. Each topic should be approached and presented in terms of what it reveals about individual and collective human nature, development and evolution and how it impacts on human beings.
- HumanScience is based on the premise that there is one fundamental science of humanity that transcends and unifies all the fields of social science and humanities. The same universal principles, processes and patterns govern and underlie human activity in different fields.
- HumanScience is based on the premise that political, economic, social and historical phenomena are expressions of individual and social psychology, rather than self-existent fields governed by impersonal laws independent of human beings.
- HumanScience is based on the premise that the same principles and processes govern behavior and events at the level of the individual, family, organization, community, nation and the global community.
