The Humanities don’t usually have the aim of producing material goods or explaining physical phenomena, instead they try to understand the human being as part of the world through its linguistic, literary, artistic, social, political, cultural and religious expression. Nevertheless, not many people in the present world can afford living by reflexion, in the absence of a paid job.
