The turning of metaphysics, whether to the development of Karl R. Popper's thought or to the developing process of whole scientific philosophy, is deserved to be focused and studied. It tells us that we should also pay attention to and think the issue of realism in the scientific development, while focusing on the issues of methodology and epistemology of scientific development. Due to that reason, this paper aims to make a research on the Karl's metaphysics turning and its consequences of modernization.This paper goes on from the five aspects as following:The first part looks back the history of metaphysics. From the origin of metaphysics at the ancient Greece, the paper makes recurrence of metaphysics, with which the metaphysics of philosophic king turns from the first position of philosophy to the lone King Lear ,furthermore , to the current Don Quix·Ote.The second part stresses an importance to uncover historical conditions of Karl's metaphysics turning, pointing out turning conditions of metaphysics, namely the close attention attached by modern western philosophers. Also, this paper mentions small environment which refers to the failure of the objection of metaphysics and primary power originated from rational development of rationalism. So this paper represents the historical conditions of metaphysics in all directions.The third part is the concrete content of Karl's metaphysics turning, namely the research outline of the metaphysics provided by Karl R. Popper, includingrobjectivism, realism and indeterminism, among which the theory of Three Worlds is the core. Besides that, this paper gives further elaboration upon the co- relationship between the science and metaphysics.This fourth part discusses the modern consequences resulted from the metaphysics turning. It consists of four aspects covering resurrection of historicism, the reconstruction of rationalism, the rising of scientific realism, renaissance of metaphysics and wave of post-modernism thoughts .From which, we are able to make metaphysics full play in the scientific development and social progress through our efforts.The fifth part is the simple conclusion, which mainly makes a further explanation on the study of important theory and reality meaning of Karl's thought.
