The Role of Anthropology in Social Science and Humanities Studies.

Abstract

Is anthropology a good starting point for social science and humanities studies? Looking at the relationship between individual and society, would be helpful. Individual and society makes a whole through relations. Social relations generate individual identities. The whole society shape its identity according to the sum of individuals, and upper social systems. There is a kind or relationship between individual, society and relations that we name it invigoration (Taghavvom); they enliven each other. Society shapes by the sum of individuals; individuals determine by relations; relations show the direction; the direction is determined by the society in regard of its role in the upper system. In the studies it is impossible to recognize one without seeing the others. If we start from the anthropological point of view, without considering the others, we will have a misleading start in social sciences and humanities studies.
