As the carriers to discovering and containing the value, as a revolutionary power and most important productivity, the modern science no doubt has great cognition value, critical value and practical value. Not only does it bring human rich material wealth, but also bring unprecedented spirit prosperity and culture bloom. However in the20th century, the modern science meets serious challenges and crisis in many ways, such as fundamentalism, humanistic, scientific pessimism and antiscientism. Since the industrial revolution, the vigorous developed science and technology take a series of problems:population explosion, energy crisis, environmental pollution, ecological unbalance, species deterioration, war, what’s more, a high degree of mechanization, electronic, automatic make people feel lack of sense, which makes modern science mired in difficulties of cognition and practice, increasing the pain in people’s mind more and more. At the same time, it also force people to reflect the modern science, to try best to overcome the disadvantages of modern science, such as empiricism, absoluteism, monism, mochanism and determinism, to subvert classical epistemology characterized by regularity, universality, generality, abstractness, inevitability, to promote the modern science to become postmodernism science.The postmodernism science should be enchantment, polynary, organic, integral, procedural, spiritual, indeterminism, absolutely fee, in stead of monistical, purely rational, dogmatic, and atomic. Its task is not to remove the charm of life and the universe, but to strive to establish a harmonious and unitive relationship between human and nature. Its target is not to purse scientific truth, but to purse the practical of science, the validity of explanation, the concertedness of essentials and temperate experience of scientific theory. Therefore, the postmodernism science tries to set up a new view of word, value, life and science; to claim development of environmental science, ecological science, life science and energy science; to promote human behavior expand to the language area; to become a whole including the universe and natural behavior. Transforming to the postmodernism science not means to rebuild the modern science, but to seek new concept and ideas to open up the prospect of future science, which must be more humanistic.
