To deal with the contemporary problems of STS, a framework is proposed. The framework, which reflects the synchronic structure of present science and technology, expresses the two important relationships or triads: <Science, Philosophy, and Society> and <Discipline, Specialty, and Society>. The former includes "the Philosophy of Science Problems", and "the Sociology of Science Problems" are in the latter. The both are self-contained in the Science and Technology Studies, whereas sociology or philosphy is a rather independently established discipline, in which S & T is occationally selected as an object. Each triad is decomposed into sub-relationships: <Science, Philosophy>, <Discipline, Specialty>, and etc. These pairs are Utilized to have a critical treatment of many kind of theoretical discourses about science and technology of our time: demarcation of science and non-science, paradigm, social construction, and etc., Further, on the basis of the proposed framework, "research programs" of contemporary STS would be derived. The task will be performed in the forthcoming second part of this series.
