description: In this philosophical history of broad sweep and original synthesis, Bruce Mazlish considers the human sciences-their achievements, failings, and possibilities. Starting with the remote human past and continuing to the present , the author discusses what sort of knowledge the human sciences claim to offer, what role the scientific method can or should assume, and the direction of human sciences in the future.
