This interdisciplinary volume explores the relationship between history and a range of disciplines in the humanities and social sciences: economics, political science, political theory, international relations, sociology, philosophy, law, literature and anthropology. The relevance of historical approaches within these disciplines has shifted over the centuries. Many of them, like law and economics, originally depended on self-consciously historical procedures. These included the marshalling of evidence from past experience, philological techniques and source criticism. Between the late nineteenth and the middle of the twentieth century, the influence of new methods of research, many indebted to models favoured by the natural sciences, such as statistical, analytical or empirical approaches, secured an expanding intellectual authority while the hegemony of historical methods declined in relative terms. In the aftermath of this change, the essays collected in History in the Humanities and Social Sciences reflect from a variety of angles on the relevance of historical concerns to representative disciplines as they are configured today

A contribution to a UNESCO study defining the scope for an inquiry on current res trends in the humanities & soc scis, based on the report of an interdisciplinary seminar in the U of Ibadan. 3 main themes are discussed: (1) major changes in the world affecting the nature & objectives of diff disciplines - the socialist, sci'fic & technological revolutions-& the consequent widening of horizons; (2) changes in the methodology & objectives of these disciplines, ie the rejection of overall systems, borrowing of natural sci techniques, emphasis on dynamics, & weakness of the ethical component; (3) interdisciplinary collaboration: the integration of `man in society.'

It is argued that there is a radical distinction between the natural sci's, the soc sci's & the humanities grounded in the typal diversity of the phenomena with which they are concerned. Natural sci's are concerned with a realm in which value-considerations are practically non-existent. Humanities study a realm which is the specific creation of men & in which value-bearing & value-embodying aspects are the essence of the matter. Soc sci's deal with a midway realm of human reality arising out of the interaction of men in which the causal & the valuational intertwine in an inextricable manner. This midway positioning of the soc sci's accounts for the continuous temptation of the soc sci'st to regard his subject-matter in completely naturalistic terms, on the one hand, or as analogous to a piece of human art-creation, on the other. The diverse & even contradictory methodologies pleaded for in the soc sci's can be understood in the perspective & context of such a situation. AA.
