Sociology
Weber said that all knowledge is ‘value-relevant’ because:
sociologists like to put a value on different theories
knowledge refers to people and their values
theorists interpret the world in terms of their own values
attempts to provide knowledge about the world are always valuable
theorists interpret the world in terms of their own values
Weber argued against the positivist idea of observing phenomena objectively, emphasizing the interests and bias we draw upon to make sense of the world. However, he did believe that once a sociologist had acknowledged their values, they could proceed to test out their theories in a scientific way. Thus Weber defined sociology as the scientific study of social action, which must be understood in terms of the meanings individuals give to their experiences. 39
