Humans make judgments and react to situations according to their experiences and learning, by their participations in different events and their contact with other humans.

Physics, chemistry and biology are the main ones. The human sciences, obviously referring to human beings and laws fail to provide as objective as the previous, limited to generalizations and classifications of behavior, but often hide their deficiencies in a sophisticated mathematical language. They are also referred as soft sciences. Because the idea of reality offered (the human world) does not occur as deterministic as in the case of the hard sciences. Economics, psychology, sociology, anthropology and education are the most representative of this group. Psychology is included in the empirical sciences, although it is discussed whether it belongs to the natural sciences or social sciences, most would say that it is certainly is a "human science" but we must not ignore the behavioral intention of making the psychology a "natural science". Human sciences studies the social, cultural and biological aspect of human life.
