Abstract
Positivist approach, in modern natural science, believes experience as unique way to the natural sciences. This approach has faced over recent centuries with general acceptance so that the progress of the natural sciences owe this approach was considered. This view was challenged in the second half of the twentieth century and some philosophers of science as well as social scientists tried to show the role of defaults and the impact of non-empirical factors in modern natural science; as of today, the traditional image of science as merely empirical, his credibility is lost.
This paper uses the attempts by some philosophers and sociologists of knowledge and evidence in the scientific research area, trying to extract and examine sociological factors in the form of social, political and cultural factors, affecting the advancement of modern natural science; factors that their lack, in recent centuries scientific space could create a different path in the direction of these sciences.
