Abstract: Albert Borgmann's view of science is to explore the nature of science and its interpretation methods from the perspective of humanism. To Borgmann, science reveals the essence of things at the microcosmic level and obtains empirical and verifiable results. His scientific realism is a type of inclusive theory, which includes not only the research objects of scientific attributes, but also the human factors of the poeticity, life language and moral experience of non-scientific attributes. The methods that science adopts to explain the world tend to be diversified. Moreover, developing technological practices is based on scientific theories, and the important way of integrating science and technology is to form a new world view that is accepted by the public. By systematically exploring Borgmann' view of science and its relationship with science and technology, the important implications of Borgmann's theory were given, and the theoretical shortcomings of Borgmann's view were analyzed from the perspectives of the covering range of scientific realism, the relationship between science and technology, and etc.

Key words: Albert Borgmann, view of science, realism, technology
