|b There is no doubt that the subject of the human sciences represents human phenomena in its composition and overlap, despite the differences in its curricula and numerous schools that belongs to and varied results that is left with as a trial to understand, interpret and analyze the activities related to it during conducting the search of the truth about man In this regard, it was defined in many ways, among them being the sum of scientific studies using the scientific method in the study of various aspects of activities caused by the human as an individual, group or members of society.

Is it possible to subject human phenomenon to the same study, which is a subject to natural phenomenon, then human becomes just a phenomenon like any other common phenomena? And ,therefore, what to do in order to achieve the condition of scientificity in the human sciences? Is it via compelling with natural sciences or independence? If it is through adhering , how to overcome the dilemma of the difference between the two? If it is through independence, is there any successful model provided by Humanities as an evidence of its independent scientificity.
