- Abstract
People have a superstitious belief in our science education. They attach importance to the conclusion, but ignore the basis; stress the affirmative to the neglect of doubts; replace multielements with one element; take conjecture for truth. As a result, students have so many idols, but think rigidly, lack creativity, and are poor at questioning. It is because science education hasn't been combined closely with philosophy for a long time. The present era calls for the realignment of science and philosophy. Only in this way, can philosophy fully perform its critical and questioning functions on the premises and conclusions of science. To fulfill these functions, we need to absorb widely the achievements of scientific philosophy, highlight and improve the theory of knowledge, cultivate a scientific-friendly philosophy, offer such courses for science majors, or add such content to science courses.
