Abstract
In this paper, the authors introduce separately the "Reduction" methodology, which is mainly applied in the traditional Material Science, and the "Emergence" methodology, which is mainly applied in the Information Science. With analyzing the application scope of "Reductionism" and its restriction, we discuss how "Emergencism" is apt to improving the development of information science, and suggest a conversion from reductionism based on paradigm of material science into emergencism based on paradigm of information science.
