Question

What is the uniqueness of history that separates it from other branches of social science

Answer 1

acceptedThis is a really tough question to answer. History is not just the study of what happened in the past and when it happened. Sometime around sophomore or junior year of high school, more perceptive students pick up on the fact that history is about the interpretation of various events and the sheer breadth and variety of interpretations is what makes the study of history interesting.In terms of how we can differentiate history from other areas of study. The short answer is that we really can't. History itself is a blanket term that covers a lot of different areas of study. For example, the study of the mathematical concept of volume and the study of, let's say, World War II can both focus on the certain moments that "motivated" these events. But one may require quite a substantial understanding of mathematics; both however are indisputably the study of history.

Answer 2

The uniqueness of History that separates it from other branches of social science is that it studies the existence of man and his habitat from the ancient period whereas other branches have no business as that of historic study .
