In an attempt to critically analyze the conceptual foundations of psychology, the theory of science that psychology had adopted were analyzed. First, the implicit and explicit presuppositions in conducting scientific research were analyzed, and then the chararateristics of traditional 'Perceived View' of science were described. After that the critiques of science by postmodernism were described and the meta and empirical implications of cognitive psychology to the theory of science were discussed. A new possible way of reformulating the theory and practice of science in psychology was proposed.
