Attempts have been made in this paper to demonstrate that the analysis of the concept of “value” through using the broader concept of “reason” gives a clearer and more comprehensive picture of the relationship between science and value. More specifically, the main objective of this paper is to find out which form of the impact of values on scientific endeavor is justified and which form is unjustified. There are two known answers to this question: One is based on the doctrine of “value-free science” and the other holds fast to the distinction between direct and indirect roles of values. In the first place, these two answers and their critiques are described briefly. In the next step, the concept of “reason” and some of its formal and structural features are described, and, by explaining the relationship between “reason” and “value”, a conceptual framework is proposed for the study of the mentioned problem. It will be demonstrated that the analysis of the concept of “value” based on “reason” provides a possibility for a new answer to the question regarding the justified and unjustified interventions of values in scientific endeavor and the superiorities of this answer to the previous answers.
