Abstract
The task of science is to find the essence and rule hiding behind the phenomenon,and this essence or rule is the truth of science.People always believe that a certain criterion can be used to judge whether or not a proposition or scientific theory is the truth of science.Therefore,in the field of scientism,the mainstream believes that the truth of science has the distinctive features from the truth of humanism in which its absoluteness and certainty are self-evident.But this viewpoint has not only been influenced by the opinions of humanist about the truth of humanism,but also been reconsidered and criticized by the philosophers in the field of scientific philosophy,so some new characteristics of the truth of science is being revealed.This article wants to illustrate this phenomenon from the ideas of some philosophers in the field of scientific philosophy,namely,the absoluteness and certainty of the truth of science is shaky.
