AB - In the academic society, in which dialogues between science and theology and, further, a certain form of convergence and integration of the two are hot issues, problems of the scientism don’t be treated carefully. On the one hand the scientism shows the temerity to explain everything in the world according to the scientific logics, on the other it reveals its blindness in the efforts to solve all the problems of the world scientifically. If the science is tied to such a scientism, it sets up itself as an integral science, goes beyond the territory adequately given to it, invades and at last colonizes the world of meaning and the transcendental. In order to overcome such problems of the scientism from theological and ethical viewpoints, I distinguish the language of theology from that of the science in the first step. Second, I criticize the scientism from scientific-philosophical perspectives. Third and at last, based on a theological reflection on the liberation praxis of God in the world, I suggest how to regulate science and technique in the modern society, in which a scientification of techniques and a technicalization of sciences are highly realized.
