科学元勘
以科学技术为对象的一种学术研究，它是一种元层次的探究，对应于英文science （and technology）studies，其中“元”相当于英文的meta-，“勘”相当于研究、探究。“科学元勘”不同于科学家所从事的一阶的对象性研 究，因而英文的翻译一般不译成“科学研究”，以避免与科学家的工作混淆。科学元勘是一个综合性的研究领域或者学科群，按成熟程度主要包括科学哲学、科技政策研究、科学 史、科学社会学、科学的社会研究、科学知识社会学（SSK）、技术史、技术哲学、技术社会学、科学传播学、科学政治学等等。“科学元勘”并不承诺站在科学 家的立场看问题，科学元勘中相当一部分内容是反省科学技术
