Traditional scientific view believes that the objectivity of scientific knowledge is manifested as the objective truth of knowledge in accordance with the world.With the development of science in the Late 19 th and Early 20 th century,and the development of the philosophy of science.people have doubted the objectivity of scientific knowledge to a certain extent because of the emphasis on the influence of social,historical,psychological and geographical factors in epistemology.But in this dissertation,new characteristics of the objectivity of scientific knowledge in the view of local knowledge are researched,and reveals the new connotation of the objectivity of scientific knowledge by clarifying the change path of the connotation of the objectivity of knowledge.Based on the research background and characteristics of scientific practice philosophy,this paper discusses from the following aspects:This paper takes the method of ideological history to analyze the objectivity of scientific knowledge from Logical Positivism to Sociology of Scientific Knowledge(SSK),and claims that they share the theoretical presupposition of "subject-object dichotomy".The presupposition of "subject-object dichotomy" of scientific knowledge makes these schools have not listed the dynamic practice process of scientific knowledge as their research purport,but only from the standpoint of "theory priority",either promote the objectivity of knowledge in the sense of "truth",or simply deconstruct the objectivity of scientific knowledge.The philosophy of scientific practice advocates "practice-dominated" and opposes "theory-dominated".Scientific practice philosophy emphasizes the practical,dynamic,contextual and intervening nature of scientific knowledge,while it opposes the representative understanding of scientific knowledge.Rouse advocates the view of local knowledge,and emphasizes that scientific knowledge is rooted in the context and space of specific laboratory.In addition,the New Experimentalism emphasizes that experiments can bridge the gap between scientific knowledge and practice.The New Experimentalism also highlights the value of laboratory practice in the generation of scientific knowledge.In this paper,philosophy of scientific practice provides a new perspective for us to explore and understand the objectivity of scientific knowledge.From the perspective of scientific practice philosophy,the objectivity of scientific knowledge has three new characteristics: spatiality,standardization and inter-subjectivity.By analyzing the new characteristics of the objectivity of scientific knowledge,we can reinterpret the objectivity of scientific knowledge.The analysis of the new characteristics of the objectivity of scientific knowledge is beneficial to us to reinterpret the objectivity of scientific knowledge.This paper emphasizes to reinterpret the objectivity of scientific knowledge in the process of interaction between practice and cognition,as well as between locality and universality.To reinterpret the objectivity of scientific knowledge,we need to be based on the context of the blending of subject and object,rooted in the dynamic mutual construction process of scientific knowledge and space,and emphasize the practical context of the indexability of knowledge.Above all,through the analysis of the change of the connotation of knowledge objectivity,this paper finds that the traditional view of science promotes the objectivity of scientific knowledge in the sense of "theory-dominated".The philosophy of scientific practice emphasizes the objectivity of scientific knowledge in the sense of "practice-dominated".Therefore,to reinterpret the objectivity of scientific knowledge,we need to be in the practical position of operability,intervention and contextualization.
