Philosophical Schools of Social Theories

From one generation to the next generation, people make changes deliberately or abruptly. Human science is an inquisitiveness to know about our being. 

The idea of a "science of humanity" suggests a framework for understanding humanity as a symbolic and cultural phenomenon, distinct from biological or social sciences. Different philosophical schools define humanity through diverse perspectives, reflecting their core principles and historical contexts. 

These definitions encompass various aspects of human existence, such as the consciousness/mind, rationality, and our place in the world.

Ancient Greek Philosophy

-Aristotle: Aristotle emphasized perception as the route to understanding the natural world and identified intellectual virtues as the highest form of excellence.

-Stoicism: Stoics, emphasized living in agreement with nature, with virtue as the only real good. They believed passions result in judging good and evil, advocating for self-control and fortitude.

Modern Philosophy

-Idealism: Idealism is a rich and complex philosophical doctrine that emphasizes the primacy of the mind, ideas, and consciousness in shaping reality. It has deep historical roots and significant implications across various fields, from ethics and politics to art and psychology.

-Existentialism: Existentialism focuses on individual existence, freedom, and the search for meaning. Existence is particular and individual. Existence is the problem of existence and the investigation of Being. Individuals must make choices and commit to them. Existence is being-in-the-world, influenced by concrete and historical situations. 

-Marxism: Marxism views humanity through the lens of class struggle and economic determinism. Marx saw history as a series of struggles between classes over material interests, with the goal of achieving a communist society where each individual can cultivate their gifts in all directions.

Human science is an inquisitiveness to know about our being: From one generation to the next generation, people make changes deliberately or abruptly; many times they are in the survival mode subconsciously; but sometimes they can reach the conscious or even superconscious mode to drive transformative changes proactively.
