In the
West
The study of
humanities can be

traced to ancient
Greece, as the basis
of broad education for
citizens.

During Roman times, the


concept of 7 liberal arts
evolved: grammar,
rhetoric, and logic
(trivium), arithmetic,
geometry, astronomy,
and music (quadrivium).

Period
Humanities began to be regarded to be
studied rather than practice.
(humanities become an integral part of
the curriculum), with corresponding
shift away from the traditional fields
in to the areas such as literature and
