Science and technology are alarming characters of our time .As a cultural phenomenon, science is a great achievement in human civilized history. Science and technology overwhelm in modern daily life, because on the one hand, the abundant material commodity on which we rely in our life is supplied by them; on the other hand, they oppress us all cruelly by its "unity". In the stereotyped operation of science andtechnology system, man has been losing his affluent essence .And the earth--thispermanent home of humankind ,is more and more terminated and ravaged by " high science and technology civilization". Thus, though we are astonished by this culturalform--science, and try to analyze its two characters, in fact, my goal doesn't aimscience completely ,but man . I intend to inquiry after the natural end of man in technology society.From obscure to clearness science underwent a course, but as a form of culture, it along with art, religion is the creation of man. It belongs to anthropology as it ought to be. As we know, modern science arose from western traditional philosophy,so-called metaphysics. Therefore, it is only natural that to see about science from the view of philosophical anthropology .Philosophy is of human all times, and science is of human all times. We think that " the issue of man is always the concealed theme of western philosophy" from the existence of philosophy.Different from other shapes of anthropology in history, philosophical anthropology emphasizes on the attribute of history, culture, free creation, affluent humanity of man, and manages to eliminate " subjectivism" which inflates excessively recently.After brief inspection on the pre-history of science and the anthropology nature ofscience , I studied stressfully two characters of modern science--maths and creation,scientifical curiosity from the view of human creational essence.In the analysis of history of maths philosophy, we see the consolidation it contains on the aspects of "subject-object", " material-spirit", "nature and man". Meanwhile , we find this result happens to have the same view with Heidegger's "dasmachematische" theory, "existentialistic truth "theory. Moreover, I explains and testifiesthem from two perspectives--pure science and cultural history. Because Heidegger'sscience and technology viewpoints contain profound humanism care, epoch feeling and decomposition of human's subjectivism, and because his thought complies with the conclusion of maths philosophy's study. I furthermore explain his thought on my own standpoint. And at last, I orientate maths and scientific curiosity again on the basis of analysis before.There are five parts in this paper.Part one describes the origin of modern science and the social significance of science in Karl Max's eyes.Part two analyzes the maths philosophy on the standpoint of philosophical anthropology.Part three argues the nature of human creation, and furthermore think highly of the significance of scientific curiosity.Part four dicusses the failure of science which causes the emptiness of human spirit. This phenomenon results from the excessive practice of maths and curiosity in development of technology. We turn to Heidegger's theory. Because he analyzed maths on the view of western philosophy, and he gave us the answer about man's future.Part five: Conclusion--curiosity should operate entirely, maths should revert toits essence of purity .
