Abstract

Humanities discuss human voluntary action, hence the man's free will is the most important basis for distinguishing the humanities from the natural sciences. In view of the fact that there are, in general, two Compatible and Incompatible versions of free will, it is necessary, in general, to consider the ratio of different perspectives on the distinction of the humanities from the natural sciences with these two general statements of free will, in this way the humanities and sciences Naturally, they define their relationship between their last and next, according to the free will's statements. This paper, by descriptive-analytic method, examines the role of different statements of free will in the distinction between humanities and natural sciences, and concludes that the intrinsic distinction of the humanities from the natural sciences is possible only on the basis of an Incompatible narrative, and the attitude of Compatibility can not distinguish the human sciences from the natural sciences, except through exogenous factors.
