From the impacts of 3·11 disasters, we are obliged to reflect on our ways of life with respect to the use of nuclear power. They are, for example, we are caught by Security Myth, we are insensitive to Immorality of Nuclear Age, we ignored to inquire the Social Responsibility of scientists and engineers and so on. The present civilization is based upon the modern science and technology and we were apt not to raise any queries on them. Thinking about ourselves, we must acquire the critical views to the present status of science and technology. On this point, the most important problem is so called the Trans-science Problem which denotes there are many problems which cannot be answered only by science, though they are related to science. In order to resolve these Trans-science Problem, it is necessary to deploy the philosophy, thoughts, ethics and social thinking as well as scientific considerations. Such a cooperation between human science and natural science is asked to overcome the Civilization Crisis in Japan and the World.
