Yes, the humanities can alleviate modern spiritual emptiness by fostering meaning, empathy, and self-reflection. Through literature, philosophy, and art, they help individuals explore existential questions, connect with human experiences across time, and cultivate a sense of purpose amid materialism and isolation. Studies and thinkers emphasize that humanistic education counters value confusion and inner void, promoting richer inner lives.https://www.insidehighered.com/views/2014/01/21/essay-argues-humanities-are-existentialismhttps://fhis.ubc.ca/news/the-role-of-the-humanities-during-times-of-crisis/https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/2331186X.2025.2497147
