Abstract

In this symposium, the propositions and arguments were discussed on the three axes as follows:
(1) The evaluation of modern science:
The first view point was that the methods of abstruction and conceptualization in the modern science, repressed some people who dropped out of those methods. The second was that the formation of synthetic science will correct those defects and solve the final problems.
(2) The discriminatory social structure: We should emphasize the awareness of the discriminatory social structure;for example, adultinfant, the not-handicapped-the handicapped, man-woman, majority-minority.
(3) The relations between researchers or professionals and real society:
The first argument criticized the situation that the modern science had changed into religion, and that the expectation to professionals' work had been enlarged. The another one pointed out that the professionals could not meet the expectation because of the low level of modern science; therefore, we should make efforts to bring science up to a higher level.
