摘要: 拉图尔通过自己的关于科学形成原因的新解释学说,提出了新的对称原则,即取消自然与社会的对立,来试图从科学的社会建构转向科学的建构。在此基础上他认为科学是在行动者网络中被建构的,在这一过程中社会也相继形成,从而转向于一种新的科学观。他提出行动者网络理论主张在科学的建构中对社会进行重组,实现主客统一。拉图尔认为自己脱离了社会建构主义的阵营,但通过考察行动者网络理论与强纲领的几点联系,我们发现他的理论仍然坚持科学的社会建构主义的一般原则,其实是对更广阔的社会建构主义的补充与发展。

Abstract: Latour brought forward the new principle of symmetry that abolished the distinction of nature and society to turn to the construction of science from the social construction of science, according to his new explanation about the reason of science’s formation. Based on this, he thought science was constructed in the actor-network and society appeared during this process, which turned to a new view of science. He claimed to reassemble the social in the construction of science by putting forward Actor-Network-Theory, in order to realize the subject-object unity. Latour thought he broke away from the camp of social constructivism, but by investigating the relationship of the unity between Actor-Network-Theory and Strong Programme, we find his theory still insists on the general principle of the social constructivism of science, and in fact makes the supplement and development for the broader social constructivism.
