The debate between the determinism and the non-determinism, and the debate between the historical determinism and the anti historical determinism, are one of the severe disputing philosophy problems in the twenty century. With the progress in nature science, not only the non-determinism has not a leg to stand on, but also the mechanical determinism has been proved that its availability has much limitation in nature science field. The dialectical determinism replaces the non-determinism and the mechanical determinism. The dialectical determinism has a clear success in nature science field, but anti historical determinism is still having a strong influence in social science field. The famous representative character of the anti historical determinism is Karl Popper. His magnum opuses,《The Poverty of Historicism》and《The Open Society and Its Enemies》, animadvert on the historical determinism, especially on Marxist materialistic historicism. This thesis is based on the domestic animadvertments on Popper's anti historical determinism. This thesis points out the Popper's anti historical determinism is false. Its falsity is that to understand the social law is not based on the social practice and dialectic. The falsity results in Popper's anti historical determinism. Marxist materialistic historicism is right. Its rightness is just that to understand the social law is based on the social practice and dialectic. The rightness results in discovering and proving historical determinism.
