History of Human Sciences provides an important forum for contemporary social science research that examines its own historical origins and interdisciplinary influences in an effort to review current practice.

Critical Examination

In recent years we have witnessed a spectacular convergence of interest in the social sciences. Scholars are critically examining their traditional assumptions and preoccupations in the light of developments which cut across interdisciplinary boundaries. Disciplines across the social sciences and beyond are reflecting on their own histories in an effort to review this current practice. The term Human Sciences encapsulates this broader, innovative approach to the established subject matter of the social sciences.

An Interdisciplinary Approach

History of the Human Sciences aims to expand our understanding of the human world through a broad interdisciplinary approach. The journal will bring you critical articles from sociology, psychology, anthropology and politics, and link their interests with those of philosophy, literary criticism, art history, linguistics, psychoanalysis, aesthetics and law.
