| Affiliation: | Doctoral candidate at the University of Minnesota. In this Article she presents an analysis of the fact-value controversy, beginning-with the question of teaching values vs. teaching about values. Taking the position that a denial of the factual existence of values leads to misunderstanding, she emphasizes the factual status of values. Seeing the problem as divisible she divides her paper into two parts. The direction of Part One way be indicated by her question, " Can an argument about 'what ought to be' be settled in the basis of scientific evidence?" Part Two is concerned with such questions as, " Does similarity of beliefs between two groups of people imply similarity of goals?" |
