In this paper, the origin of natural science will be discussed. We will find that natural science was created for the prediction of what was to be expected with empirical certainty in the intuitively given world, and that Mathematization of the nature hid the practicability originally equipped in natural science. Then, referring to ideas of E. Husserl and J. Dewey, we will discuss the relation between pure science and applied science. If we want to think deeply about the social responsibility of science, w e should focus on the practicability of pure science.
