It is often asserted that science is value free, but this statement
is only half-true. Scientific theory is indeed value-free, but the practices
to which that theory is put are not. When we are talking about sciences
of meaning rather than being, where the content of the communication
is comprised of ideas (values adhered to objects), such as in the
disciplines of semiotics and memetics, the assertion is doubly half-true.
