Abstract

There is an approach according to which humanities and natural sciences are two utterly different domains, following different rules. Thus they should not interfere with the domain of each other. This theory which is more or less advocated in certain epistemic realms such as science and theology by some and is vigorously dependent on Wittgenstein's doctrines deals eventually with sciences as scattered islands. The author of this articles argues why this theory is incorrect having negative consequences for the development of sciences.
