    What is unique about the methods used to investigate the humanities is the fact that they are not bound to the scientific method of inquiry but explore extensively the complexities of the human existence. Humanities is interested in capturing the dynamics of the human cosmology not restricting itself to certain known nuances as does the social and natural sciences.

    Explanation:

    The humanities observe not the concrete phenomena but the more conceptual dimension of those same phenomena. They do not analyze concrete case studies, but they develop critical discussions aimed at better definitions of the peculiarities of a phenomena. They do not explain, they understand the nitty-gritty of the constituents. The landscape of humanistic research is so wide that it would be too long to examine.

    Humanities can be tough to run experiments on especially when trying to find inspiration for a book, a poem or painting.

    Explanation:

    There are alot of comparison between science disciplines and that of humanities. the culture is different and sciences can be very competititive and mechanistics. techniques are used to solve puzzles in science.

    Futhernore, the academic writing styles are different. in science, it is streamlined but in education it is more expansive. science is mostly third person but not so in humanities.

    Humanities can include arts, paintings, writing, poems etc which can occupy many words but science can be few words. Science prompts us with experiments, hypothsis and the rest but humanities are more complex and emotional.

    The process of writing in humanities makes many discoveries and working out how various ideas relate to each other but in science you get your result and then write them up.
