Valuation and objectivity in science

Carl Gustav Hempel

pp. 277-304

Abstract

The role of valuation in scientific research has been widely discussed in the methodological and philosophical literature. The interest in the problem stems to a large extent from the concern that value-dependence would jeopardize the objectivity of science. This concern is clearly reflected, for example, in Max Weber's influential writings on the subject.1
