It's not a liberal, it's humanitarian and that's a vastly different thing.

Every class of society has its cant of lamentation, which is understood or regarded by none but themselves; and every part of life has its uneasiness, which those who do not feel them will not commiserate.

So I don't see them - the sciences and the humanities - as being at all different.
