Abstract :
The meaning and significance of science sometimes has been somisunderstood that it has been considered either as the only way ofauthentic knowledge and so being respected greatly, or has beendeprived of any attention and so being cursed. This phenomenon wasspecially prevalent during early decades of the twentieth century in theWest.This article aims at studying the meaning, status and dominance ofscience in some fields such as psychiatry, cosmology andanthropology. It shows that science is not perfect in providing a verycomprehensive pattern for recognition in these fields. This weaknesswhich originates from the limitations found in the essence of science, isa result of this fact that science, according to its definition andempirical method, is unable to recognize all the possible data.Scientific Psychiatry, by emphasizing only on its empirical method,will end up to physiology, because psychiatry only insists on theobjective symptoms of a diseases regardless to the fact thatpsychological disease are mostly rooted in (human) personality andsubgectivity of a person.Aslo in anthropology which is based on science, the true meaning ofhuman being is missed in its numerous appearances.So, through philosophical criticizing of the science and determining itstrue meaning, it will be possible to find the meaning, importance andpossibility of philosophizing and it's intercommunication with scienceduring a period which is known as science era
