Features: This book conducts a relatively comprehensive study of a new science that takes science itself as its research object from a sociological perspective. The entire book is divided into two parts: the role and potential role of science in society. The author explores in-depth and specific detail issues such as the system, structure, planning, management, and science policies of science, drawing from the historical context of scientific development, science education, and the various social external conditions under which scientific research is conducted, as well as the internal and developmental laws of science.
