Abstract

This article examines the posture and digital environment of the researcher in the exercise of analysis, interpretation and axiological neutrality. Indeed, if science advocates knowledge based on “reliable objective relations”, it implies an ideal of rigorously objective methods and techniques applicable to a particular research object (Peak, 1974). The very definition of this object, as well as its nature, thus determine the methodology enabling an understanding of reality. Sociodigital networks constitute a specific research object, redefining the epistemological requirements of the Humanities and Social Sciences: they have the particularity of taking their place on the digital, which imposes itself “at once as an instrument, a method, a field and an object of research.” ( Bourdeloie, 2013). The aim is to question these methodological issues, with regard to axiological analysis as a necessary process for axiological interpretation (Weber, 1965) on digital. To this end, the comprehensive sociology of Max Weber will be mobilized in relation to the specificity of the research object. This will allow us to question the place of axiological neutrality in considering the intention of predictability made possible by algorithms.
