If there were a science of human beings it would be anthropology that aims at understanding the totality of experience through structural context.

The biology of mind bridges the sciences - concerned with the natural world - and the humanities - concerned with the meaning of human experience.
Science is the systematic classification of experience.
It is this conception of the unity of the human career which is perhaps the greatest achievement of historical study, since it gained a place analogous to that of natural science.
Science provides an understanding of a universal experience. Arts provide a universal understanding of a personal experience.
Anthropology never has had a distinct subject matter, and because it doesn't have a real method, there's a great deal of anxiety over what it is.
All science is experiential; but all experience must be related back to and derives its its validity from the conditions and context of consciousness in which it arises, i.e., the totality of our nature.
The historical development of the work of anthropologists seems to single out clearly a domain of knowledge that heretofore has not been treated by any other science.
Studying anthropology, I developed a kind of holistic view of human existence, in which the dichotomies you listed are all necessary and vital aspects of life.
I have this extraordinary curiosity about all subjects of the natural and human world and the interaction between the physical sciences and the social sciences.
Cultural anthropology is more and more rapidly getting to realize itself as a strictly historical science.
