Max Weber thought that to distinguish between explanations and value assertions, just as to between value judgments and evaluative interpretations, were duties for the social and historical sciences. Hence it should to be determined from what ethical o meta-ethical values can be raised a legitimate rational research without falling into academic narcissism or into certain attitudes shelter in aestheticism.
