A Proposal for the Study of Humanities Change

Abstract

This study focuses on ‘humanistic change research’ as part of the study that ‘Reflections and Suggestions on Change Research’. It is now a time of rapid change. There are also various studies of change. However, focusing on change, studying change itself is rare. Moreover, it is difficult to find research on humanities change in this context. In a situation where full-scale changes occur due to the development of science and technology, research on humanistic changes is worth reflecting on the basics rather than the end of the change. Therefore, in order to meet the humanities perspective and suggestions for change, research on humanities change is needed to be faithful to the natural role of humanities. This study aims to discuss the establishment of research goals, development of methods, and system consideration and proposal as an approach to change, and the role and value of research, and to publicize humanities change research. From a humanities perspective, the reflection of change research is as follows. First, it is the observation of inputs and outputs as a study of the phenomenon of change, the analysis of the relationship between subject and field as a structural study of change, and the exploration of patterns delivered by change as an information study of change. What can be thought of as the role and value of humanities change research is, first, the request for humanities reflection. Second, the development of humanities research methods. Third, it is a collaboration between scientific methods and humanistic heritage.
