Abstract

The present paper is an attempt to explore the various views and beliefs of the relation between science ,humanities and technology. The history of both fields shows that humanities always try to keep track of science, making use of its data and strategies and at the same time keep downgrading science's position. In other words, science is self-sufficient and self-generating.The subjectivity of humanities is quite evident and science is known for its excessive objectivity, it is natural that we come across such cases of misunderstanding and fallacies. Science ignores and slights the humanities as merely imaginary constructs that can not hold before verification. The relationship between science and the humanities has taken a new turn due to advancement of technologies in recent years. Although C.P. Snow’s two-culture debate have been the most popular expression of this relationship during the past half-century. This paper describe the various aspects of relationship between Science and humanities with the intervention of technology. The Science and the humanities differ in the subject of their studies and methodologies used,whereas the subject in science is rather concrete and instruments for its solution are experiments, observation, calculation and modelling, the subject in the humanities tends to be rather abstract and logic contemplation and thinking may serve as instruments. However, both science and the humanities share a quest for knowledge and the truth, defining and tackling a problem, a question, and trying to resolve it. It is firmly believe that science and the humanities are children of the same 'mother' - the human quest for knowledge and understanding the world around us and thus they need and complement each other.
