Barry Barnes Theory Of Sociology Of Scientific Knowledge

Barry Barnes is the famous scientific knowledge sociologist, as one of the pioneering Edinburgh school, his scientific knowledge sociology thoughts in philosophy, sociology, and other social sciences has exerted an important influence, I try to provide some primary studies of it in this dissertation.Barnes sociological theory of scientific knowledge, critically inherited the classical sociology of knowledge and the important thinking of the sociology of science and ingenuity to make their own new ideas, in his view of scientific knowledge generated in the process, not only has an inherent element of the role while also affected by social factors, scientific knowledge is a collection of sub-culture, which produces with a chance and uncertainty, it can not use the same standards of scientific methods of measuring its. In addition, he also pointed out that scientific knowledge is actually the product of social construction, specialized in science today, it not only changed the distribution of knowledge, but also improved the knowledge of the same social role. This paper Sociology of Scientific Knowledge on the Barnes thinking more detailed and in-depth research, and strive to provide a sociology of scientific knowledge on the Barnes thought more complete picture, to fill the domestic part of the study of his thought blank.This paper argues that scientific knowledge Barnes sociological thought during the formation of scientific knowledge by the sociological analysis is reasonable, it breaks through the traditional epistemological framework, enrich our understanding of science, and deepened the complexity of science Of understanding of its distinctive Deconstruction subverts the doctrine of modern science. At the same time, his thoughts on the post-modern thought and abroad have played a different extent, a detailed analysis of the current education system reform in China also played a certain reference. However, there still exists in the theory can not overcome their own difficulties, which led to considerable controversy and thinking space. This controversy is rooted in the sociology of scientific knowledge Barnes theory, shown by The tendency of the relative, although this assertion about the relative ideology, controversy has continued since ancient times, but we also need to use a dialectical perspective Analysis, the negative side is not worth promoting, but it also needs the positive side to give full recognition. Also, how to locate the natural substances in the formation of scientific knowledge in the role of handling the relationship between nature and society, this issue is also worth thinking about. Of course, I have limited capacity due to its depth and meticulous thinking is far from being reached, the article presented some of the thoughts and ideas are to be further improved.
