Toward the Reflexive Scientific Sociology on the Field Standpoint——A Study on the Scientific Sociological Thought of Bourdieu

With the Review to theoretical tradition of scientific sociology, Bourdieu puts the objective structure and running rules of scientific field, the habitus and practice of scientific actors, into the vision of reflexivity. The differences between pure scientific capital vs. institutional capital and scientific authority vs. secular power produce the tension between autonomy and heteronomy in scientific field. For the purpose of resisting to heteronomous invasion, the entrance fee standard and running rules of scientific field should be defended, declared and formalized. Intellectuals should get rid of the guild orientation and the sense of self superiority then influence the social reality with their scientific authorities. The autopsychic reflective attitude and critical awareness make Bourdieu apt to question the normative presupposition of scientific activities and transform them into the production of field, capital and habitus then hide a relative potential inclination in the deep logic. Bourdieu 's reflective enterprise is the production of his social origin, life experience and academic course and the scientific practice using the capitals and powers he owned so the enterprise must be absorbed into the sociological reflexivity.
