All decisions and judgements on planning and socialization could become justifiable only by showing they fit into the patterns of personal life of which we approve. In sum, the rationality of socialization and planning is rationality without foundations, and depends on democratic institutions in a broader sense, which pursue the goal of ‘orchestration of ways of living’. Neurath explicitly criticized totalitarian absolutism by arguing:People of the totalitarian kind may try to make scientists the leaders of a new society, like the magicians, nobles, or churchmen of former societies. The encyclopedism of logical empiricism does not see why scientists, trained to discover as many alternatives as possible, should be particularly able to select one alternative only (one that never can be based on calculation) by making a decision or performing an action for other people with different desires and attitudes. (1946, p. 505)
