Politics of science is a complex and profound discipline system. Its main researchobjectit is the science as well as the influence on the science of politics and the public, and itcontains a lot of study around the three disciplines. Through the systematic analysis of thepolitical, public and scientific organic interaction, we can adjust science better to ensure thatscience and technology achieve the purpose of servicing to human happiness better. In manyscientists, Salomon began to research the relationship between science and politics earlier, andhe has formed its own theoretical system. With his unique perspective, he studied many vitalproblems, including the scientist groups, the interaction of science and politics, science andpublic communication in science and politics field. He has made a significant contribution tothe development of science and political science disciplines.In this paper, which bases on the scientific paradigm of political science, using literatureresearch, case analysis and inductive synthesis methods, French scientists Mr. Salomondescribed in detail for the consolidation and expansion of the political theory of science, andanalyzed the Salomon’s deficiency in the study of political theory in science.Specific to the writing structure, this paper mainly discusses from four parts:The first part mainly introduces the formation process of science and political context.The formation of the science of politics has experienced a “before paradigm" and "paradigm"the two stages. In the "before paradigm" stage, although some scholars studied on therelationship between the science and politics, but they did not specifically set up scientificpolitical science disciplines. Then in "paradigm" stage, such as Weber, Bernard, Dixoncontinued exploring. Hanlaiping, with system analysis, thought that until Bernard the scienceand politic already has its own science paradigm, namely: the benefit of the people’s scientificvalues, institution of triangle structure system core theory and science of social history, themacro regulation, the public participate in democratic regulation research program me, andthe history of the socialist society system analysis method. All of them promote the formationconditions of political science of science.The second part mainly introduces the Salomon context consolidation of political sciencein science. The study of the theory of the Salomon can completely satisfy the paradigm of the science of politics, at the same time from the side to confirm the validity of the scientificparadigm of political science theory. First, he thought science is related with human happinessand value. Science is a means of seeking freedom and human liberation, and science’s truevalue is to benefit human. Second, he believed that science, politics and people the threeelements as the social institution system, they are inseparable. Science and politics rely oneach other, and based on the government agents the interests of the people, their purpose is toserve the public. Thirdly, he thought science has different characteristics in different historicalenvironment. So the science needs to study from the history of science, and contact timebackground to explore the cause of the problem. Finally, he thinks that science is one part ofthe social system, and it has the same form of isomorphism with other social factors. So thescience has the macro regulation of resistance, and the public participation and democraticregulation is an important part of macro-control and science.The third part mainly introduces the Salomon the expansion of the political context ofscience. Salomon’s theory not only stay in the consolidation of the political science singlelevel in science, but also made great contribution to the science expansion of political theory.First of all, his emphasis is on decision-making consultation of science and technologyresearch. Salomon mainly described from the decision-making process of science andtechnology policy advisory characteristics, development trends, essence and function the threeparts, and he emphasized the professional knowledge of expert groups to participate indecision-making is important for science and technology, and pray that calling on thegovernment attaches great importance to the public from the side. Second, he pays attention totechnology innovation policy research. Salomon has carried on the detailed study from theevolution of technology innovation policy, technology innovation policy in the role of themarket and the role of education in three aspects. At last, he pays attention to the degree ofpublic participation in science and technology policy research. Salomon analyzed the situationof public participation in decision-making of science and technology in different periods andfound eight stages, the three kinds of degree of public participation on history.The fourth part mainly introduced Salomon deficiency in the theory in the context ofscientific politics. Although Salomon saw the importance of public participation, and analyzed the degree of public participation in decision-making of science and technology, buthe didn’t study the way of public participation in decision-making, which made Salomon’sscience and the integrity of the political theory with a bit short. Modern public participation indecision-making of science and technology mainly has three kinds of patterns: first of all, thelack of models; second, critical interpretation model; finally, the hybrid model of the BBS. Onthe issue of the technology forecast accuracy, although Salomon questioned, he did not givethe method to solve the problem. Another science and politics scholar, whose name is Goston,presented the theory of "governance" and it expected to a certain extent is the explanation forthis question.
