Abstract:
According to Jacob Grimm’s definition, sciences can be divided into “exact sciences”, which consists of natural sciences such as mathematics, physics and chemistry as well as “inexact sciences”, which includes humanities such as history, linguistics and poetry. The “exact sciences” have been long valued because of the huge contribution they have brought to the productivity. However, the “inexact sciences” possess on the other side a great power which can carry the culture and hold the folks of a nation together. “Poetry” is meanwhile described as “the science of all sciences”.
Key words: sciences, exact sciences, inexact sciences, poetry, languages, history, culture
