“Objectivity” as “Fair Play”. M.Weber’s Redefinition of Normative Notion

What is researched in this article written by a well-known Finnish political scientist, is the “objectivity” notion, as well as the way in which this notion used to be treated in the works by such classics of political thought as M.Weber, K.Schmitt, F.Nietzsche. The author of the article realizes profound theoretical analysis of the problem field within which this notion is present in academic discourse, touching upon fundamental problems of (1) science activity conceptualization and (2) science community functioning.
