Why history considered a science and art?
History is not a “science”; it is an art. Science can be an adjunct to the study of history, such as in archaeological studies, but the scientific method is not otherwise part of the process of historical research. The study of history in modern universities began with the English language departments. Until the mid 1800s, history was simply a component of the English department. History eventually received its own designation as a department. Historians do not rely on the scientific method but their results based on historical methodology become increasingly more reliable as additional factors affecting history become known.
