Spanish term or phrase: avalorativas
Y lo que es peor, aplicaríamos nuestros propios valores, puesto que no existen posiciones técnicas avalorativas.
Si, por el contrario, sólo nos apoyáramos en argumentos de orden político, estaríamos menospreciando el saber científico-técnico que ha sido probado a través de la experiencia y que ha dado lugar a la conformación de campos específicos del saber (Neirotti, 2005:15

Explanation:
Hola Romina:

Yo creo que "avalorativas" significa "sin valores". Es un término usado en filosofía y sociología, que creo que tendría sentido en este contexto. Te envío algunos enlaces:

· Es un conjunto de conocimientos acumulativos.
· Es un saber avalorativo, o sea, no-ético

neutral  philgoddard: I don't see how you arrive at this. Surely we're looking for an adjective.

  -> I don't think so, I think the phrasing of the sentence needs to be changed.

agree  neilmac: = "as there are no value-free criteria, we have to apply our own" is how I understand the sentence.

  -> Thank you Neil. And yes, I think "value-free" would probably be the best translation.
