The rationality of Science problem has been an important but controversial problem of philosophy of science field. The content of rationality of science is very abundant, people can carry on the research from different levels and on different sides. A kind of widespread cognition is to divide rationality of science into science internal rationality and science exterior rationality. In another words, it means the pursue towards reality and well. According to the history of philosophy, most schools of thoughts pay a lot attention to the close of science to the reality, few study science's close to well. In the 20th century, science plays a key role in pushing the development of society as well as the following negative effect that we couldn't neglect, so people begin to pay more attention to the social rationality problem of science.Martin Heidegger;Marcuse, Habermas, The club of view, but they just made the general description of it, even someone from different points of view, but they just made the general description of it, even someone denied this thought completely and demolished the social rationality of science. Although this kind of negative standpoint contributes to helping us get away from the bad influence of science chauvinism, it obstructed the development of science and the progress of human beings as science chauvinism, it obstructed the development of science and the progress of human beings as well. This text tries to carry on tentative study on the social rationality problem of science from introspected and constructive point. Most of scholars in China just mention the rationality of science incidentally when they research the inherence rationality of science. Few scholars study this field specially. Ehen though a few scholars embark some attempt, the outcomes are general and simple just like some viewpoints that the application of science and technology must accords with regulation and intention, rationality of result is the most important in rationality of aim and method and result.The writer points out the reason that the predecessor pays more attention to the truth of science rather than the well of science, and he study this problem on the background of theories and ages. According to ecology, human nature, applied boundary of science and the characteristics of the social rationality of science etc, he made the general to the social rationality of science, and ages. According to ecology,human nature, applied boundary to the social rationality of science, and point out that to carry out the social rationality of science, firstly we must change that former incorrect outlook on science, help the people comprehend the connotation of scientism culture, then it is still necessary to restrict the social function of science adopting scientism culture, then it is still necessary to restrict the social function of science adopting social conditions, such as social system and legal system, etc. to ensure that social application of science is rational.Finally the writer indicates that it is possible to put forward the social rationality of science in our country, in fact this problem have the profound but realistic meaning according to the current conditions. Also it is a very pressing question, so we need give more concerns to it.
