Since the 1960 s,Kuhn's philosophy of science had a great impact on scientific community among the world.Comapared with the logical empiricism and the logical positivism,this theory has the e sociological dimensions.As a new dimension,we could find some texts from Merton's and Alexandre Koyre's theories.Obviously,big science society has a great impact on this.During that period,logical empiricism and logical positivism encountered difficulties,and represented by Merton's sociology of Science School appeared,have indirectly or directly contributed to development of paradigm theory in sociological perspective.This is the theory of paradigm can be important factors all the world.Because Kuhn's "paradigm" sociological dimensions precisely expressed difficulties.Generally,we think the paradigm of sociological dimension includes two aspects: first of all,research activities in the paradigm of content defined by specific social practices;second,scientific activities were conducted from the Paradigm.Fully out,Kuhn's "paradigm" dimension is a source of many theories of sociology,and deeply affected by the social background at that time.And we finally found that the Social Dimension of Kuhn's Paradigm Theory has its theoretical sources.The sociology of science of Merton and Alexandre Koyré'sthe history of science not only play a guiding role in theory,but also resonate with kuhn's thoughts.Originating in Kuhn's philosophy,the sociological genes,which have innate affinity to sociologists,are more likely to be accepted by them.
