In die filosofie is van die basis vrae altyd wat is die mens en wat is sy verantwoordelikheid. In beplanning is daar aanvanklik gedink dat daar net met feite gewerk word op 'n wetenskaplike manier. Die rasionele mens sou tog alle probleme kon oplos. Klosterman skryf in 1978 'n artikel getiteld "The foundations of normative planning" en verduidelik dat alle denke deur waardes bepaal word. Beplanning word nie deur feite oorheers nie maar deur politieke besluite wat bepaal wie kry wat, wanneer, waar en hoe. In the world of philosophy some of the basic questions are what is man and what is his purpose in life? In planning it was apparently thought that planners work with facts and the scientific method. It was thought that rational man would be able to solve all problems. In 1978 Klosterman wrote an article entitled "The foundations of normative planning" stating that it is not rationality but values that determine planning. Politics decides who gets what, when, where and how. Lefatsheng la filosofi dipotso tse ding tsa motheo ke hore na monna ke keng mme ebile sepheo sa hae ke sefe?
