Along with the time development, the modern society more and more needs the science and the humanities integration. So the research and the thought for the integration of science and humanity seem particularly important. Since the Renaissance, the division of science and humanities have begun to sprout, which has continued its separated status quo from then on. The Sokal incident which occurred in 1994s in the United State led to a new are of the argument on science and humanity. For this separated status quo of science and humanity, many domestic and international scholars are looking for the integrating road. Only for the integration from philosophy on review, then can find the divisive source, can know that the basic point of the integration, in order to promote the integration of science and humanity.Wants to promote the science and the humanities fusion, first need a clear understanding to the science and the humanities connotation. There is an essential distinction between the science and humanities: The science is take nature in each kind of concrete phenomenon, the concrete thing as own research object, the humanities pay attention to the main body "the person"; science pursue rationality and precise ,the humanities pursue vagueness; The scientific neutrality, the humanities have the class nature; The science pursue objective truth, the humanities pursue the morals to be kindhearted. Overall, the fact is the science and the humanities are two different concepts, belongs to the different category system.There is an essential distinction between the science and humanities, but it doesn't means that it is impossible to integrate sciences and humanities. Even if science advocates rationality, pursue objective truth, but it is also person's science, is the humanity entrusts with the science "the life" and the significance. The scientific production has the strong humanities root, ancient times the deep cultural inside story has bred the science growth. Regardless of is the ancient Greece's natural philosophy or the ancient Rome's construction art, all has provided the humanities fountainhead for the important spirit of pursue truth of the science. So from the day the natural science produced, and has deep humanities implication, show a lot of humanities features. The human being are yearning for democracy and freedom, the science may promote the freedom and the liberation of the human spirit, and then to use the scientific understanding for realizing and transform nature to accomplish the freedom and liberation. In addition, the people in carry on the infinite research spirit which in the scientific research has, is also contains the humanity feature. The scientific research process is filled with the humanities factor: curiosity, inspiration, faith, determination and so on. The great scientific innovations are affected by the humanity factors. More manifests the science is person's science is the science has the extremely important humanities value. The thorough logical thinking in the scientific research is very helpful for us to study the humanities, scientific development lead to the revolutionary of the thinking which change the way of mankind's thinking every day and constantly improve the human spirit of exploration.The humanities attention core is "the person", but it doesn't mean that there is no relationship between the humanities and science. The science has provided a good scientific cultural background to the humanities, the scientific progress enable the people extricated themselves from the ignorance, and had a batter understanding of themselves. The humanities each step of development, all has among the scientific factor participation. To any one of the branches of humanities, science and logic are a need to ensure the correctness and truth of the humanities. The humanity more and more soberly realizes in the scientific development, the humanities development must rely on the science in the very great degree.The development of times have deepen the human knowledge for science and humanities continuously, this kind of knowledge also make mankind realize the crisis of both fracture. The inner unity of various science and humanities has shown the possibility that both fuses, and along with the development of times the integration of science and humanity will be a necessity.
