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
