Abstract

The philosophical difference between soft and hard sciences is experimental.Since its appearance,soft science has experienced the processes from science of science to scientific sociology, then to science and technology and society.Science and technology and society is the basic realm of study.The three features of soft science decides that its theoretical system has dimensions.Academic researchers can be divided into three groups.What causes the problems for its survival is that the positioning is not clearly set.The building of soft science and the science and technology studies must be combined,which is the common understanding of the academic field,which is also the requirement for building a harmonious society.
