The scientific philosophy in 20th century develops from the arguing combat between the scientific realism and antirealisrns. The scientific realism develops on the base of metaphysical realism. It advocates only one objective description about the world existing in our mind and in our co naissance, therefore the truth is the science theory combining our thought with objective reality while antirealisms denys it. Scientific realism and antirealisms have been intensely arguing about whether there is a truth or not in scientific truth and they can't reach an identical conclusion.Since the mid-20th century, the post modem science philosophy including the thought of separation, disintegration, dispelling, non-centralization, anti foundationalism, anti-originals, anti-exteriorities, has given a completely deny to traditional science philosophy including traditional epistemology and ontology, the truth of science, philosophy including traditional epistemology and ontology, the truth of science neuter of science value. It has eliminated the typical position of science in human being culture. As a result, the demarcation line between science culture and non-science culture has not been defined; what's more, the dilemma appeared. And It has got a conclusion that there is no deference between science and religion, culture, necromancy.It also has fallen into dispelling of the truth and meaning on the issue of the truth. How to save science philosophy and truth is an important subject in studying science philosophy.The post modem science philosophy is on its history stage just because of the combat between realism and antirealisms.To break away from the dilemma of science philosophy, we should get a solution out of the combat between realism and antirealisms.Beginning with combat between realism and antirealisms, the essay aims to give an analyze and study on the different ideas about the truth of scientific theory from science realism and antirealisms, combining the thought ofMaxims epistemology and seeing the origin of science from the stand point of constructionalism, recognition as founding, predicting and reciprocal action relation of building the objective world firming the truth existence from the point view of science realism. Meanwhile it will present an analyze to its structure and semantics about the truth of science theory. It claims that theory will not only reflect the reality world, but construct an ideal model of a reality world, containing all kinds of possible models under any conditions besides reality conditions.The theory contains the recognition of certainty but the recognition of uncertainty situation. It also state that some recognitions about the world can be seen as the truth recognitions, opposing the traditional view that truth is suiting to objective matter and its nomologic, because it can be testing theory of real existing condition changes. In this way, we can dredge a way to study the objectivity of truth of science theories and it will make a presetting about the truth in modem science philosophy.
