Abstract

Traditionally, knowledge exists in accurate presentation and scientific knowledge is the model of knowledge. "A wide gap" exists between the world and its presentation. Scientists are to "bridge this gap" through improving the presentation. Rouse addresses traditional opinions on knowledge and power and their relationship fail to understand the contemporary scientific practice and its relationship with politics and society, and it is a "serious misguidance". Therefore, it is necessary to redefine knowledge and power and review the interaction between them. According to systematic understanding of works written by Rouse, we find the progressive significance of Rouse's idea can be highlighted through comparing the scientific knowledge and power of Rouse with the traditional ideas on knowledge and power.
