What was Weber's perspective on the role of values in social science?

Max Weber emphasized the importance of values in social science but also advocated for a distinction between facts and values in research. While recognizing that values influence the choice of research topics and the interpretation of findings, he argued for 'value-free' or objective social science, where researchers strive to separate personal beliefs from their analytical work to better understand social phenomena realistically.
