Conference – The Societal Impact of the Humanities: Contemporary Vision and Practices
The humanities are no less significant than the natural sciences in terms of their intellectual value and societal contribution to the development of both individuals and communities. In fact, their importance may be greater, as they directly address human needs and foster the conditions of human existence. As beings living within social contexts, individuals require communication, shared cultural references, and the ability to coexist positively with others. Thus, spiritual, cultural, intellectual, social, historical, economic, and media-related needs are foundational to the human experience. These serve as a precursor to achieving further aspirations such as health, urban development, and scientific advancements that contribute to human well-being and prosperity across all societies..
