HUMANISTIC TRADITION I is opening doors for interested students into the wonderful concourse of humanities. Humanities as academic discipline intend to know more on the past human predicaments by employing analytical, critical, and/or speculative tools. These tools come handy, when the student of humanities has little to no empirical data available at hand; unlike it is the case with natural sciences. Hence, humanities prefer qualitative approach to a quantitative one. As academic discipline, Humanities attempt to figure out the present human predicaments by better understanding the past ones employing the tool of critical thinking and analysis. Therefore, it draws from geology, paleontology, anthropology, archeology, ethnography, history, cultural studies, mythology, religion, art, architecture, philosophy, literature, painting, music, and, dance etc. to name a few. In short, Humanities attempt to systematically analyze the small steps the human race has made over time and thereby comprehensively understand the giant leaps it has made over the ages. This in turn helps Humanities to effectively predict the trajectory the future human generations are about to take. Study of Humanities helps one to discover and rediscover meaning and purpose of one’s own life through broadening of knowledge horizons of the world one lives in. On the other hand, one can learn to be non-judgmental about the world around by appreciating its beauty and goodness. Knowledge in humanities will, of course, make very good humans.
