ABSTRACT

There is an affirmative and negative side to scientific authority. But the problem is on latter. This will be a scientific authority deteriorated to be mythical. The mythicized science is generated by the blind following to the science. In fact, This kind of deteriorated scientific authority makes the form reinforce its effect or dominance out of its real contents of science in itself. It means that the effect can not have power by the original scientific authority based on the scientific rationality. Deteriorated and scientific authority must be overcome. In order to get over this kind of problem, it should be divided the authority into science, non-science and anti-science in the first place. The ground that can make its border line is come out of the fact that ‘the thing outside of science’ can not substitute from ‘the science in itself.’ The aim of this thesis also focuses on the boundary prepared here to resist about the outside authority.
