Abstract
Scientific research method has passed a process from transcending reductionism, developing holism, to combining reductionism with holism. The dialectical unity between reductionism and holism has solid base of philosophy and objective foundation. It is the dialectical thinking method embodied in process of cognition, that is, from concrete to abstract, then from abstract to concrete, and the interaction between analyzing and synthesizing.
