David Bloor was first person who defined "Strong Programme". Simply put, Strong Programme is:
a. Have to explain development and evolution of science knowledge logically by using social condition.
b. Have to explain not only clarified science(like newton science) but also pseudo-science(like alchemy).
c. Same social factor have to be used by same method for explaining clarified science and pseudo-science.
d. And this sociological explaining have to applied in Strong Programme itself.
Based on this four propositions, Bloor advanced methodological relativism, and declared "Objectivity(of science) is social".
Strong Progamme create controversies. Especially assertion that have to use same factor for explaining clarified science and pseudo-science, and success and failure in science. It was very unpersuasive.
