In the cycle of continuous development of philosophy, people and world, thinking and being, subjective and objective are the questions of people thinking. These questions can not simply accord with each other directly in order to achieve the ultimate reunification, they will be subject to different regions of language. They will be subject to the language theory of meaning, and its way of expression, understanding and other aspects constrainted by all the elements of the process of human social, such as politics, economy, history, and culture and even human survival mode. Up to now, it can be said that, the studies of material and spiritual world of human beings will combine with the theory of meaning carried by all the language. Because philosophy and language are based on the continuum, the vision of philosophy you drug the world decides the people how to control human language and its theory of meaning.The theory of meaning is discussed from a different perspective in this article and make a depth analysis that the theory of meaning plays a fundamental role in human communication and cultural exchanges. In order to achieve the deep interpretation of the meaning, and reject the traditional philosophy purely that discussed meaning theory of language from the Scientism point of view, it is will be discussed of the semantic structure of language, meaning and understanding of the historical occurrence and the relationship with the scientific aspects of the truth from the scientism and humanism-oriented in this article, and the epistemological and value dimensions of meaning also will be studies. Meaning is based on the context, and it develops with the dimensions of cognitive, communication and experience, changing with the truth, so the derivative questions of meaning-“existence”,“quality”, and“authenticity”will be analyzed. The object of interest will be changed from the question of inevitable meaning existance into the questions of disengaged meaning and world, meaning and culture, meaning and human relations. Based on that we can solve many practical problems in the information age.The same as the the truth of knowledge, the study of meaning of language makes a reflection on the reletionships of object-“I”and human -“I”. It shows the connections and interactions between human and nature, human and human, human and society. In view of the philosophical significance of this issue, contending theory of meaning indicates that the cultural values of human being have been changed. Starting from the view of postmodern, the study of meaning shows a obvious contextual and human culture trends. This study provides fully reflection and the dimension of space for the theory of meaning, but also oppotunities for the practicality of meaning. The reconstruction of theory of meaning by the guide of Marxist philosophy could help us avoid mistakes of nihilism and absolute relativism of the postmodernism.
