Abstract: Under the background of modern scientific revolution to examine the epistemology turn/linguistic turn, the essence of these turns is the transformation of philosophy from authoritative voice in declaring the philosophy-science truth about reality to the second order discourse with regard to the scientific truth, and the powerful impact of science’s rise up resulted in the scientism tendency and of Anglo-American philosophy. However, if philosophy withdraws from the nature research field is rational and understandable with the mature of nature sciences, then in humanistic and historical areas, there is still the traditional space left to the philosophy as an authentic academy, and in this field, philosophy and humanistic studies including literature and art as Heidegger said are allies, both have the mission to give the truth concerning being in different levels. In this case, Philosophy not only as a theory of truth, but also provide truth differs to the scientific one. Between providing epistemological argument and endorsement for science and gives truth itself, the latter rather the former is the major thing philosophy supposes to do.
