Abstract: Science as epistemic model, what characteristics and conditions it has, how its epistemic paradigms evolve, change, and the pursuit of these questions compose what we call epistemic culture. This paper discusses social studies of science, especially epistemic culture issues through the approach of laboratory studies. Laboratory studies exhibit the multiple dimensions of scientific epistemic, the differences among epistemic paradigms within various scientific disciplines, which provide rich and constructive examples in our search for the structure and evolution of epistemic culture.

Key words: epistemic culture, laboratory studies, description, norm

摘要： 科学作为认知的典范，它有什么样的特点与条件，它的认知范式是如何演变、转换的，对这些问题的追问构成了我们所说的认知文化领域。本文重点讨论的是科学的社会研究，尤其是实验室研究进路所理解的认知文化问题。实验室研究为我们展示了科学认知的多个维度，以及不同的科学学科在认知范式上的差异，为我们探讨认知文化的构成和演进提供了富有建设性的范例。
