Therefore, this study will introduce his theory of scientific field. A sociological analysis as well as a reflective discourse is used in this study. In order to understand the source, the contents, and the operational logic of scientific field, religious explorations are used to explain the basis of framework of scientific field. From the description, we can realize both the reason why human society progressed and the effects how scientific field operated. Habitus, capitals, and scientific knowledge are all important elements for the scientific field. All of them are essential to the development of human society. We may say that any of them is a stirring power to push such a development. Reflective sociology， proposed by Pierre Bourdieu, cast its connection on the integration among cultures,arts,education... etc. And hence reflective sociology becomes a powerful mechanism that unifies science, technology, and the society（so called the S-T-S system）. The S-T-S, therefore, has not only become an influential factor but also a public concern on human society. Brooding over the images of social phenomena, the agent’s thinking reflection over himself or herself, and over the unknown of social institution, becomes indispensable to anyone to fulfil his or her determination. The study quotes some specific critiques over the unfair reproduction in education from Bourdieu’s scientific theory, and this quotation impresses us. Bourdieu offers good opportunities for everyone to probe into the essence of scientific field. The study shows a real appearance on two prospects：social scientification and scientific socialization. Bourdieu verifies those two prospects in this study. Keywords：scientific field、 habitus、 capital、reflective sociology、 S-T-S（Science- Technology- Society）
