I claimed once that the human nature will be fully explained, studied, and determined by a non human being, not a human being. If we compare the Real sciences, for instance Physics and Mathematics, we notice that the conclusions they reach are conclusive and testable. Why? Because they are dealing with things which are completely different from their nature and act differently from humans. As a result, the scientists do not get emotionally involved, i.e. there is no interrelation between the Object (the scientist) and the Subject ( the phenomenon). Furthermore, the phenomena that they are dealing with are structurally determined; systems. Human sciences, on the other hand, lets say Psychology and Sociology, we notice that the findings of these latter are based on argumentation (Philosophy) rather than experiments (real sciences). Lets take the psychological phenomenon the mind as an example. No psychologist on earth can claim and give us the defining properties of the mind and how it really works. Why? Because there is an interrelation between the Object (Psychologist) and the Object ( the mind). As a result, the scientist cannot keep the distance between him and the phenomenon and he gets emotionally involved, because the mind is a part of the scientist. Furthermore, the structure of the mind cannot be perceived, since it is not something tangible with a concrete and determined structure. The mind should be discussed outside science, since this latter deals only with systems in which all their changes are determined by their structure and those structural changes are result of their own dynamics or triggered by their interaction.
