On Steve Fuller’s Thought about the Governance of Science

Steve Fuller's ideas of the governance of science include three aspects: the thought line, the reality aim,and reaching way about the governance of science. The first aspect takes on a logical link from the right to be wrong in open society to the republicanism ideals. The second aspect focuses on the improvement of big science and its elitism. The third aspect directs to secularization and democratization of science. Steve Fuller's ideas of the governance of science remodel the interaction between scientific discovery and mass participation, and that make a major enlightenment to the development of the university. Meanwhile, Fuller's Republicanism ideas are too idealized in the real world.
