Theory Analysis Of Autonomy And Social Science Activities

Scientific activities what is the status of autonomy and social real?In the logicalpositivism advocated Merton science tells us: science is attributed, objectivity, thecontinuous accumulation of progressive cause, so scientific activities in scientificinternal is objective completely autonomous.Premise, he refuses to study in the study ofscience and sociology of scientific knowledge, namely to "black box" to deal with thescientific knowledge, in other words, the production of scientific knowledge hasabsolute autonomy of scientific activities.However, this is the thought of idealizedcolors, with the appearance of SSK received intense criticism, the SSK of scientificknowledge as the construction of the society, with social completely negate thescientific objectivity, to the other end of the traditional science.While Kuhn’s paradigmtheory opened up to scientific research from the overall sense of history.This shiftmeans that’s abandonment of the traditional standard of science.In normal period ofscience, social science internalized into the autonomy of science, and in the scientificrevolution, the autonomy of scientific activities and realm of the social and historicalcondition at that time, and become innovation power of science.Therefore, the scientificactivities between autonomy and social is not isolated, but there is a dynamic balance.This paper studies the autonomy of scientific activities and social as the core,including exordium and epilogue, a total of six chapters.First chapter through to thescientific and standardized Merton comb, it is concluded that: in the positivism Mertonthink science is the internal "absolute objectivity", the scientific knowledge as theprerequisite of the course, only to study the science of micro social environment(science and external economic, political, and cultural relationships), so the sciencebecame Merton according to "ought to" scientific, with the idealized colors;Out in thesecond chapter to the society as the core of SSK of science, its proposition is: the science is social construction, completely eliminate the Merton proposition in thescience of scientific objectivity, toward the other end of the traditional science;The thirdchapter combed the Kuhn’s paradigm theory, this paper expounds the core paradigm: tomaintain scientific and break the field of science.The fourth chapter in front of thesummary of this paper expounds the three big ideas, on the basis of the core content ofthis paper raises: real autonomy and social science activities, there is a "necessarytension between the autonomy and kept a dynamic balance between social, this balanceis to maintain the stability of the scientific development.
