Question:

Humanities essay?

Has anyone taken a humanities course and had to answer the following question? Our human existence is in many ways a great mystery, and the study of the humanities might be said to be a search for meanings. Consider each of the fields of study you have explored this semester, and explain how that field and the particular methods used by scholars in that field can be said to contribute to a search for meanings. Focus especially on comparing similarities of approach in the various fields, but point out contrasts in approach as well. The fields you have studied are: art, poetry, philosophy, classical studies, history, religious studies, and history of science.
