价值取向问题是社会科学研究中重要却又有争议的问题。社会学作为一门独立的学科有其自身的一套研究方法,同时也涉及到采取何种价值取向的问题。马克斯.韦伯在综合实证主义与人文主义方法论的基础上,形成了自己的一套方法论体系,提出了社会学之研究方法的准则———价值关联与价值无涉。 Value orientation is an important but controversial issue in social science research. Sociology as an independent discipline has its own set of research methods, but also involves the question of what kind of value orientation. On the basis of the methodology of positivism and humanism, Max Weber developed his own set of methodology and put forward the criteria of sociological research method --- value relevance and value nothingness.
