Abstract: In the process of seeking the universal law of human civilization progress and obtaining the universal value of human civilization,how to avoid both the empiricism error of “reason doesnt depart from facts” and the apriorism error of transcending time and space is obviously a major theoretical problem that has not been clearly recognized and solved in the academic circle so far.Like empiricism,apriorism,which is completely divorced from the empirical basis,tends to be extreme and absolute.The organic epistemology or universalism epistemology,which is formed by the unification of the experience and apriority,may be a more reasonable cognitive approach,and the intellectuals,especially the humanistic intellectuals,owe this historical mission to fulfill.The social responsibility and unique advantage of the intellectual group,which is different from other classes,lies in that it takes the necessary logical thinking training as the premise,goes beyond the empirical knowledge,through the possession of knowledge to obtain the ideological power,and with the insight obtained by the organic combination of transcendence and experience,it critically understands and predicts the development trend and prospect of things,and makes the necessary early warning and prospect for the social reality and its development prospect.At the same time,in the diversity of the development of things,exploring,discovering and abstracting common experience knowledge and civilization achievements are far higher than specific experience knowledge,that is,the universal concept that reflects the truth and rationality of the development of things,finally accumulates into common civilization achievements transcending time and space,and then returns to promote social progress.

Key words: practice, truth, empiricism, apriorism, universal value, the intellectuals
