重思价值关联与价值中立之争--基于内在价值视角

Review the Debate about Value Relevance and Value Free--Based on Intrinsic Value

马克斯·韦伯在社会科学研究方法方面提出了一组悖论概念:“价值关联”与“价值中立”,由此引发学术界长期争论。价值关联是针对社会科学研究对象特性而言,价值中立则是针对社会科学研究方法和态度而言,两者并非悖论,韦伯面临的真正困境是如何处理价值中立与责任伦理关系。借助生态学的内在价值学说来回应韦伯的困境,重新返回到社会科学研究对象生成之初的地方,直面混沌实在,将事实与价值、“是”与“应当”结合起来,从而为解答韦伯价值难题提供一种新的思路。

Weber puts forward the ideas of value relevance and value free,provoking a long-term academic debate.These two aspects are not a paradox,because the former mainly refers to the nature of object of social sciences and the latter to the method and attitude.As a matter of fact,the true problem is how to deal with the relationship between the value free and responsibility ethics.The intrinsic value theory,advocated by ecology,claims that we shall return to the original place of the selection advocated by Weber and then face chaotic reality as its own terms,relating“fact”to“value”and“is”to“should”;thus it provides a valuable scheme to solve Weber’s problem.
