The article outlines the main directions of theoretical discussions on the possibility of objective and value-neutral sociological knowledge and in general, the relationship of scientific knowledge with value positions. The ideas on the connection between the directions of research and the nature of sociological theorizing depending on the position of the sociologist in society and the scientific environment are considered. The article uses ideas of basic and domain preconditions of A. Gouldner, academic field of P. Bourdieu, sociological imagination and directions of sociology according to Ch.R. Mills, the correlation of sociological theorizing with the historical social demand of P. Shtompka and others. to describe the main factors that influence the interest of the sociologist as a researcher.

At the same time, different positions of researchers cause changes in the sociological science itself.
