영문 초록 New science means the science based on a new paradigm replacing the Newton-Descartes paradigm which is characterized by the dualistic epistemology, the reductionism as the scientific methodology, and the deterministic and technical world picture. The new science paradigm has been developed by reconstructing the modernity based on the Newton-Descartes paradigm in Post-modernism and reconstructing the basic concepts overcoming the limitations and the morbid by-products of the modern science enterprise in New Science Movement. The new scientists emphasize that this paradigm is fully based on the new scientific discoveries, i.e., the theory of relativity, quantum physics, the rise of cybernetics, systems theory, Holography theory, Holon concepts, self-organizing universe concepts, dissipative structure etc. However, the present scientific enterprise does not give a full support to this new paradigm, which is characterized by Holism, systems thinking, the self-organizing evolution, and the relative humanism decentering the firm rationality of human being, because this new paradigm has not produced any remarkable achievements until now. Thus, the new science movement has been oriented to the cultural movement through the change of worldview rather than the direct and whole change of scientific paradigm. The new science movement, however, has a strong sympathetic appeal to the public disappointed at the morbid side-effects of the modern scientific society. This article reviews the basic concepts or the rising paradigm of the new science and criticizes the key contributors of new science worldview, such as Holism, systems thinking, self-organizing evolution concept, and relative humanism, in view of the assessment criteria of worldview; practicality, consistency, openness to transcendency, and rationality based on the absolute epistemological basis. Finally, the christian perspective on the new science movement is suggested by criticizing the new science worldview through the comparison and discrimination with the christian worldview. In conclusion, it is emphasized that the spiritual and cultural challenge of the new science movement should be enlightened and corrected by the spiritual awakening of the christian and the christian intellectual response.
