The study of the scientific method using the full toolkit of the humanities: historical analysis of how it developed, philosophical examination of its assumptions, literary analysis of how it's described and narrated, artistic representations of the scientist at work. It seeks to understand the method not just as a procedure but as a human activity—one with a history, a psychology, a cultural meaning, and profound implications for how we understand ourselves.
Example: "The course on human sciences of scientific method spent a week just on Faraday's notebooks—not for the physics, but for what they reveal about the human process of discovery."
