value-free social science  

Definición

  • Much of the modern debate about value freedom in social science has taken place within a framework articulated, in the early twentieth century, by the sociologist Max Weber. In his discussions of objectivity and ethical neutrality in social science, Weber made a sharp distinction between the “vocations” of science and politics on the basis of what he insisted was a fundamental logical difference between a claim about what “is” and a claim about what “ought” to be.
