Abstract: This work is an answer to the paper (Godino, 2023), and it contributes to a dialogue between different approaches in mathematics education started with (Gascón y Nicolás, 2017). Here we address in depth the following question: can value judgement be presented as results of scientific research? For this, we link this question with a classical thesis by Max Weber, and we analyse some theses allegedly incompatible with that of Weber. Next, we defend the non-normative character of didactics as a scientific activity, and we question the role attributed to the didactic suitability criteria of the Ontosemiotic Approach. Finally, we contrast the limits of science (in particular, didactics) with the great transformative power (in particular, of the teaching practice).

Palabras llave : value judgements; normativity; scientific activity; suitability criterion; teaching practice; limits of science.
