Social constructivism, which is prevailing in the West, causes a theoretical basis of dual contradiction. On the one hand, social constructivism appeals for opposition to such views of linguistic realism as essentialism, foundationalism, and magnificent narration, which will naturally lead to an antitradition theoretical study. On the other hand, however, the theory points out emphatically that all sciences, theories, and laws are not natural existences, but constructive results of language, society, and culture. This theoretical tendency objectively encourages a reorientation and relocation of theoretical study, which may help free theoretical study from subordinate place and passive state of observatory experiment and practice to add new tension to it by breaking the dogma of empirical study.
