Abstract

The generation of any kind of theory cannot be separated from its specific social background, and it will certainly be marked by the era. Social factors restrict the existence and development of scientific theory and these factors do not directly affect scientific theory. Their influence on the production and development of scientific theory is realized through the intermediary of prerequisite knowledge. This paper aims to analyze the two-way interaction between knowledge of premises and quantum theory in the process of development of quantum theory from “classical” to “semi-classical” to “Non-Classical”. Therefore, it points out how to break the shackles of the original “premise knowledge” in a timely and conscious manner, and how to construct its exploration of scientific work with the most appropriate background knowledge.
