In traditional lore, however, there are counterparts for literary and representational art, Philosophical speculations, scientific inquires, historical records, social attitudes and psychological insights. Thus, the study of folklore is a sub-division of the broader study of people and their works and as such, folklore research has much in common with both the humanities and the social sciences.
