THE HUMANITIES
Yes we can also science the humanities. (Really)

The humanities, in the Natural Law framework, are:
– The front-facing symbolic encoding of a group evolutionary strategy’s investment in its own constraint grammar.

Which means:
Every artifact of the humanities is an index of sunk capital in a strategy of constraint and cooperation that maximizes reproductive success under historical ecological and institutional pressures.

:
Understanding the science of the full scope of the humanities like that of religion and art is not the same as experiencing them. The question is whether sciencing them (explaining them) diminishes their utility or advances it. Which is something that matters in this age of crisis of meaning.
Such analysis does not render meaning neutral, it defends the investments in humanities where beneficial and deprecates those investments where harmful.
