Does P Love Political Science Too? Voegelin & Max Weber (Value Free Science)

[alice wellintown]

[Weber's conception of science] assumed a social relation between scientist
and politician, activated in the institution of a university, where the
scientist as teacher will inform his students, the prospective * homines
politici, * about the structure of political reality. The question may be
asked: What purpose should such information have? The science of Weber
supposedly left the political values of the students untouched, since the
values were beyond science. The political principles of the students could
not be formed by a science that did not extend to principles of order.
