Will humans make better progress if we create a new science which is an amalgam of human science and NATURE

[sraj]

It is widely argued by scientists and philosophers that future progress depends on a more integrated approach to understanding the interconnectedness of humanity and the environment, often described as an amalgamation of "human science" and "nature." This approach is already being explored through several existing fields rather than the creation of a single new one [1]. 

Key areas that integrate these concepts include:

• Sustainability Science: This field focuses on the interactions between natural and social systems, aiming to understand and find solutions to challenges such as climate change and biodiversity loss by considering ecological, economic, and social factors together [1].
• Ecological Economics: This discipline integrates the study of ecosystems and economic systems, viewing the human economy as a subsystem of the natural world and emphasizing the importance of environmental limits and natural capital [1].
• Biocultural Diversity: This approach explores the links between biodiversity and cultural diversity, recognizing that human cultures and natural ecosystems are deeply intertwined and co-evolve [1].
• Environmental Humanities: This interdisciplinary field draws on philosophy, history, literature, and art to examine the human relationship with the natural world, seeking to foster a deeper cultural and ethical understanding of environmental issues [1]. 

Advocates for this integrated approach believe that separating the study of humans from the study of the natural systems that support them leads to incomplete solutions and unforeseen consequences [1]. By bridging this gap, research and policy decisions could better align human needs with ecological realities, potentially leading to more sustainable and equitable progress for both people and the planet [1].
