Subject: who is гуманитарий?
Кто знает, как по-английски назвать "гуманитария"?

Humanitarian это, вроде бы, гуманист. Не то.
Scholar - это типа учёный, какой-нибудь филолог-классик. Тоже не совсем то.

Помогите!

Scholars working in the humanities are sometimes described as humanists. But that term also describes the philosophical position of humanism, which some antihumanist scholars in the humanities reject.

Thanks to all who have bothered to reply!

What I'm looking for is a word for a person who
is interested in /
is engaged in the study of /
feels affiliation with /
the humanities.

To justboris: the context is a lecture in contemporary art. The author seems to be consistently avoiding the use of a general term for those he describes as historians, art historians, philologists, etc. The best I can get out of it is 'researcher' which is not quite what I need.

To kinsman: Thanks for 'Arts and Humanities Scholar'. This sounds closer to the point, but can you think of something less cumbersome?

Спасибо!

kinsman, Аристарх: действительно, гуманитарий (учёный) = 'humanities/classical scholar'. Этим и буду пользоваться. Пожалуй, ничего более изящного не придумать.
