4-1 Discussion

Up until this point in the course, you’ve explored the process of analyzing works from the humanities. You’ve also started conducting research on specific works for your project.

Compared to what you know about the methods of disciplines such as mathematics, the natural sciences (e.g., biology, chemistry), or the social sciences (e.g., psychology, sociology), what do you think is unique about the methods used to investigate the humanities? If you have any questions for your peers, feel free to include them as part of your response.
