Social planning & the philosophical question as to whether facts can provide a logical basis for values is analyzed. Social planning deals centrally with human values. The planner focuses on the specific interplay of values & facts in the concrete context of his concern. In this analysis a number of principles, criteria for the specification of social ends, are mentioned. The planning principles are: (1) impartiality, (2) individuality, (3) maximum principle, (4) distributive principle, (5) continuity, (6) autonomy, & (7) urgency. Social ends are analyzable into deals, goals, & objectives--directions, regions, & points, respectively, in the value space. Cutting across these are the desired qualities of the experience of pursuing those ends, qualities allowing for the assessment of planned alternatives by configurational judgment, rather than by a presumed summation of component values.
