  8. Social Studies of Science have been taken seriously for some decade recently. The need to these studies after Kuhn is felt in “ The Structure of Scientific Revolution”. One of these approach, allocating to social studies of Scientific Institution, is the so called approach social constructivism. Followers of this approach take Science and scientific discoveris some kind of the Social Constructivism of scintists. Bruno Latour is one of the most famous theorisian of this approach. Studing the laboratory practies, Latour is tring to know about the bihaviour and interaction of scientists. The result of this endivour is “Laboratory Life”, the grand book.

After 8oth decade so on, joining with Actor- Network, he has played an important rule to compile a theoretical principles. We aim to consider the construction of scientific fact from Latour`s point of view consentrating “Laboratory Life”. Our key question is this; how is constructioned a scientific fact a long with scientific practice? And our minor question is that whether latour`s constructivistic approach lead to relationism?
