Until today, around knowledge of science, theory of science, science and technology and society, etc. Educational circles have many research materials and theory achievement very already, and thinking continues also rationally. With increasing day by day to social influence power of science and technology, reflect it in the domain of philosophy of science, uncertainty, back modern and various kinds of ends appear one after another in terms of views, traditional research way and visual angle have encountered the unprecedented challenge, especially the view of the excellent location of the theory faces the enormous challenge, it is even more fierce to dispute. What is science on earth? What does science rely on to have so enormous social influence power? How on earth do we think about it naturally? Can step into we in the 21st century with new thinking, realize the harmonious development of people and nature, people and people? AH this kind, the question is worth our thinking deeply about.However, it seems that the research of scientific experiment has not got our very good attention. In traditional philosophy of science, the view of scientific experiment is divided into two kinds on the whole: The experiment is reduced in order to observe the proposition; the experiment is included in the system of the theory. However, no matter which kind of view, can't always do without the help of the theory to the discussion of the experiment. I think this is an excellent view of one of a kind of theory; we need to turn from the excellent location of the theory to the excellent location of practice. Nagel blows the clarion call that experiment philosophy turned to; he thinks that there are one's own lives in the experiment law. And then large quantities of new experiment doctrine persons have expanded this research field. Especially Ian Hacking say the experiment has its own life. He think that the experiment is different from observation, and is independent of the theory. In my view, the experiment is the people's one kind of forms practices. The experiment not only interdepends with the theories, but also the experiment has basic function and function in two aspects, that is to build the phenomenon of constructing and mould the society. The experiment is a kind of activity of getting involved of the people's, and the activity changes the society deeply, the essential strength that becomes people symbolizes. So, in line with the principle with unanimous history and logic, try to do combing and introspection of the history of science and scientific view to the scientific experiment in introductory song of this text. Flow and turn into a thread with the development of contemporary western scientific experiment, attempt to explain the scientific experiment is how to establish its independent position in science, have analyzed the idea changes, system course and expansion from natural science to suitable field of the humanities of scientific experiment especially, the society has two kinds of tradition to point out the scientific experiment in ancient times. Secondly, have combed all kinds of views of scientific experiment in traditional philosophy of science systematically, attempt to hold the essence that scientific experiment and theory concern the question. However, the view of traditional philosophy of science is the excellent location of the theory. And then since according with the eighties of the 20th century, the newest scientific findings of philosophy domain of the scientific experiment, hold the prelude that scientific experiment philosophy turns to, analyze as two essential features of scientific experiment of practicing:Build the phenomenon of constructing and mould the society, ssk is studied after tracking that represented by Pickering,etc, point out scientific experiment, history, culture, the society that practice, it is plural, build and construct the view which talks about single social factor influence after refuting the society, wide clear relativism dense fog that exists in the scientific experiment is studied.The last part of the thesis combines Chinese development instantly, speak of from Joseph Li's question and Nobel's phenomenon, point out that takes the place of the meaning now recommending and paying attention to scientific experiment, and try to understand scientific experiment and value in term of spreading in science. In addition, have done the relevant discussion in also initiative question to the fictitious experiment, on the basis of distinguishing fictitious experiment, ideal experiment, realistic experiment, it is analyzed that the fictitious experiment lowers costs, a great deal of positive meanings of limiting by the time, space etc.
