Finch Interprets Weber Concepts
1 n Political Science Lecture
Social science and social prob
lems are inevitable because there
will always be alternatives, iferKY
A. Finch, professor of 'PhilqsoPhy,
said at the Political Science Club
last night, in a interpretation of
Max Weber's conceptions of eth
ics and politics.
Finch stated that the thesis of
the German philosopher was that
the social sciences are able to
strive to reduce progress veri
fiable in any value system. He
went on to explain four chief fea
tures of Weber's life work which
culminated in a statement of pur
pose for social sciences.
Like the positivist, Weber was
first concerned with distinguish
ing value judginents from factual
observation, Finch said. Value
judgments, according to Weber,
are not worthless, and therefore
science needs sympathetic under
standing of the significance of 'the
elements of society. Description is
not enough. In the long run, one
cannot have interest in definable
problems unless they are func
tions of interest in one's own
value system, Finch Pointed out.
The task of the cultural sci
ences, Finch continued, requires
elaboration in terms of relevant
notions. Thus, because we are so

cial we have social problems, he
said.
Weber distinguished between
the Physical and social sciences
With an explanation that physical
occurances repeat themselves; so
cial phenomena occur only once.
An example: the Roman Senate
can be historically traced, but
never repeated.
The ultimate choice of a value
system is the choice of the free
and responsible moral personal
ity, Finch stated. Through this,' it
is• possible to recognize that value
discussions are not meaningless,
he declared. The implications of
entertaining value judgments to
determine factual judgments may
be traced by science. The conse
quences that must follow from
certain means, coupled with the
irreduceable values, are also pro
vided by science when science is
applied to social studies, Finch
added. •
The professor of philosophy
Perkins Discusses
Leadership Needs
Efficient functioning of a group requires five specific type.§ of
leaders: an originator, elaborator, activator, coordinator, and evalu
ator, Harold W. Perkins, assistant dean of men, told approximately
30 people . Wednesday night.
Perkins spoke •on "Personal Conduct, Delegation of Responsi
bility, and , Public Relations" at
the fourth lecture of the Leader
ship Training Program, sponsored
by All-University Cabinet.
Perkins defined "leader" as one
having influence over. a group,
andnot necessarily an elected
leader.
5 Leader Groups
"There is no single desirable
set of characteristics that leaders
must have," Perkins said. He out
lined the five types of leaders
groups' needed to function effi
ciently as:
1. Originator, who has ideas and
imagination and is good at defin
ing problems or thinking up. pro
jects.
2. Elaborator, who capitalizes on
an idea and has the vision to de
velop it and make it practical.
• 3. Activator, who makes the
group act on a proposed idea rath
er than merely talk about It.
4. Coordinator, who organizes
the group and, keeps it "on the,
track," seeing that all activity
does not center on the newly pro
posed idea.
5. Evaluator, who uses critical
and objective perspective to see
how well the group is progress
g on a new idea and makes sure
that the group is doing _what it
set out to do.
Leadership Qualities
The qualities that a college lead
er should possess, Perkins said,
are above average - intelligence,
good health, reasonably neat ap
pearance, a generally constructive
attitude, willingness to learn from
the bottom up, ability to listen,
and ability to see himself as one
person among many.
said science may define the con
tribution of causal implication,
thus supplying a clear criterion
in the investigation of the means
which lead to the desired end. If
man does act hi the light of his
knowledge by the means ends
adjustment, he may be classed as
objectively, rather than subjec
tively, national, Finch said.
Reality should be studied by a
comparison of the real life insti
tutions with '"ideal types," Weber
Would say. In this way we can
understand reality, for we our
selves have inserted the signifi
cance of the "ideal type," and
the significance of the real life
institution is thus manifest, ac
cording to Finch.
And only through objectivity
and freedom from vanity may
unity in the ethics of conse
quences and the ethics of inten
tion of the idealists be reached,
Finch said.
