Do You Think Debois Could Respond to These Problems and Defend His Ideal?

In the first case, i think it might require resources which du bois himself wasn't in a position to draw upon. And do you think debois could respond to these problems and defend this valufre ideal that he's espousing? I am not aware of de boy's ever really questioning the presupposition that there is an appropriate level of evidence for any given hypothesis. But whether or not something like that could be developed in the duboisian vein is itself a so of open question. On the second problem: Whether it's possible to develop a value free science. It's simply undesirable, because we do better to allow for the plurality of political perspectives.
