As a contemporary scientist, Hawking is famous like Einstein. There were many introductions on him in domestic and international papers. But there were some obvious problems about those. For instance, Hawking's thoughts of science weren't systematically understood, his thoughts of philosophy weren't all-sided and objective, and there were a little partial. Basing on an all-sided and systematical statement for Hawking's thoughts of science, there is a comprehensive analysis for his thoughts of philosophy of science in this dissertation, and coming to some objective conclusions.Above all, there is a principal line of time overall in this dissertation. After analyzed on Hawking's theoretical fruit at every period, it is systematically stated that Hawking's thoughts of science and of philosophy of science. He has explored the problem of singularity when he studied in Cambridge, researched into the perplexity of singularity later, and he was very excellent in the field of black hole and quantum cosmology. Of course, his thoughts of philosophy that were included in his fruit of science in every period were different one another.In the next place, it is divided into vary blocks in this dissertation that Hawking's field of research and achievement Then, it is researched that his thoughts of science and analyzed his thoughts of philosophy every block. This dissertation is mainly divided into three blocks that isinterrelating each other but independent. In the first block, it is mainly researched into his achievements for the field of black hole and the perplexity of singularity, analyzed on the thoughts of causality determinism and the thoughts of statistics determinism that is included in the theorems. For instance, there are the theorem of singularity, the area theorem of black hole, the Hawking radiation, the information paradox of black hole, and so on. As a matter of fact, the thoughts of causality determinism are included in all Hawking's theory, even in quantum determinism. In the second block, it is the emphasis to research into quantum cosmology, which Hawking has built up a discipline. As a tentative eventual theory, it included all his cosmology conceives. For example, there are no-boundary proposal, and virtual time, etc. It included profound thoughts of philosophy and re-acknowledgement of our subject position, too. In the third block, there is an all-sided statement of the knowledge what Hawking has cognized time-space. After analyzed on the relativity and the subjectivity of time, it explicated the objectivity of time direction, the process from nothing for beginning of space and the prophecy for no-termination of time-space. In these statements for the nature of time-space, there are the thoughts of objective existence, origination, evolution, and no-termination. These stand up for the objective reality and theoretic reality, seemly meet the original purpose that man want to know objective reality.
