Abstract
Philosophical epistemology as well as its outlook on truth, as a significant and influential epistemological concept, has played a crucial role in the development of philosophy and science. In modern and contemporary times, however, motivated by positivism for so-called scientificity and objectivity, the unchecked development of such epistemology has led to two outcomes: on the one hand, philosophy has tried to become a universally accepted knowledge through scientizing itself; on the other hand, philosophy is getting further away from our daily life, and has lost its social influence and enjoys little prestige. Through a discussion of the critique and transcendence of epistemological outlook on truth by M. Heidegger, L.Wittgenstein and others, the author expounds the significance of post-modern philosophy in criticizing the traditional epistemology and its outlook on truth.$$$$
