What is the difference of philosophy with the humanities?

answers1: Today philosophy is a branch of the humanities and not the
reverse. This was not always so and before science became a separate
subject from philosophy the former subject was philosophy. But as
scientific thought became established and the methods of logical
argument about experimental facts become well known, philosophy
retracted into a more profound but smaller domain, where the kind of
ideas ceased to need any exact proof but largely became meta science
and belief. Thus philosophy ceased to dominate our understanding of
the practical world and became an art-form again and partly within the
range of humanities. <br>
<br>
Actually the science of some subjects like quantum theory is not far
away from philosophy too, so actually it is the difference between
humanaties and sciences that is shifting. There is a way of looking at
science as an art form, just as a beautifully mde artifact of use is
regarded as an expression of the art of making it.
answers2: The 'humanities' are a branch of philosophy. <br>
Philosophy parented many of the intellectual endeavours of humankind.
Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and so forth also branched out from
Philosophy. Logic is another branch of philosophy which has impacted
how we think about and see the world/universe around us.
answers3: The "humanities" include any field of study relating to
humans - philosophy, art history, history, literature, etc. so
philosophy is one of the humanities.
