Michael Polanyi is a famous Western philosopher.His thoughts mainly come from his scientific practice and his concern and reflection on social reality issues.Polanyi's scientific community occupies an important role and position in the philosophy of science and is of great research value.It is the precursor to the sociological shift of philosophy of science.The Scientific Community was first proposed by Polanyi.He believes that scientists do not carry out scientific research in isolation,so he emphasized the importance of the scientific community in the development of science.In Polanyi's opinion,the scientific community is different from the general social groups or social organizations.There is a fundamental scientific belief among members of the scientific community.The members of the scientific community coordinate and cooperate with each other,but there are also orderly conflicts and logical divides.The scientific community has its own organization and characteristics.This article discusses Polanyi's scientific community and shows that Polanyi's society will turn and concludes Polanyi's influence and contribution in the development of philosophy.The central idea of this paper is polanyi's idea of scientific community.First,from the perspective of reality,this paper studies the influence of the practice of the modern scientific community on Polanyi's scientific community.Second,from the concept point of view,this paper studies the origin of the scientific community concept.Finally,from the perspective of the history of philosophy,the study of the Polanyi's scientific community in His personal ideology and his position in the history of the development of philosophy of science.As for Polanyi's scientific community itself,it can be divided into three parts for analysis:The first part mainly introduces the philosophy and practice of Polanyi's philosophy of science,gives an account of the historical background of the concept of the scientific community,and sorts out the formation process of Polanyi's scientific community.The second part mainly discusses the main content of Polanyi's scientific community.It specifically discusses the specific orientation of Polanyi's concept of scientific community,the structure of scientific community and the main features of scientific community.The third part mainly discusses a scientific philosophy sociology turn in the scientific community thought,and then compares Polanyi's and Kuhn's scientific community thoughts.It can be seen that the two are inherited from the philosophy of science and the turn of sociology.It is better to learn the position of Polanyi' s thought in the history of philosophy.
