Max Weber's lecture 'Science as a Vocation' is a classic of social
thought, in which central questions are posed about the nature of
social and political thought and action. The lecture has often
taken to be a summation of Weber's thought. It can also be argued
that, together with the responses of its admirers and critics, it
provides a focus for discussion of the nature of modernity and its
political consequences, and of the philosophical and political
implications of the social or human sciences. This volume provides
a full, clear, revised translation of the lecture, together with
translations from the German of key contributions to the lively
debate that followed its publication. The book concludes with a
substantial essay on the current significance of the lecture, which
discusses its relevance to the debates about the nature of science
as a cultural phenomenon; the disjunction between science and
nature; Weber's conception of the disenchantment of the world; the
division of scientific labour; and the fundamental nature and place
of sociology.
