Abstract

Both humanism taking the human's value seriously, emphasizing the morality and human dignity, and scientism encouraging criticism, opposing against superstition and blind obedience, embody different ways by which the human race has been searching for liberal and happiness with reason. While talking about the education of humanism and scientism in today's universities, we should think deeply about these questions such as: What are the humanism and scientism? What education of humanism and scientism do we need? Where is the space for the humanism and scientism to survive in the market oriented society?
