Topic Social science vs. natural science
The human sense of exploration is not limited only to our physical
surroundings. It is also a human trait to explore from an emotional as
well as from an metaphysical viewpoint what defines us as human
beings. Science as isolated from other fields has several important
functions. It has a high practical value and has always played an
important role in improving the quality of human life. It is concerned
with problems that allow the scientist to find a definite or at least a
practical solution. Thus, it may be concluded that natural sciences
have found lasting solutions to problems that people were faced
with.
Science also contributed to the freedom within many societies.
Only by means of communication, provided by science, did
revolutions and changes in the whole society become possible. On
the other hand, the content conveyed by means developed by
scientists, was originally generated by literates or philosophers in a
more general sense. The study of literature is the study of the
human being and its behaviour in society.
Literature has an entertaining aspect but this holds true for sciences
as well, as most scientists would state. Its main purpose is to
investigate life from a general point of view. Literates have always
had influence on the development of moral values. One might argue
that literature has not provided any lasting improvement because the
solutions that can be given to the problems literature is concerned
with always depend on various influences and can never be certain.
It is much more likely that they will be forgotten within a more or
less short period of time. There may be some truth to this argument
yet
on the other hand it is the duty of literature but also of other
disciplines like history to conserve these achievements. And
without them, science would not make much sense. The question,


whether science should influence literature or vice versa cannot be
answered black or white. Just like a human being does not only
consist of physical parts, science of nature cannot make sense
without science of the human being.
