The vocation lectures
Max Weber (Author), David S. Owen, Tracy B. Strong, Rodney Livingstone
Originally published separately, Weber's "Science as vocation" stand as the classical formulations of his positions on two related subjects that go to the heart of his thought: the nature and status of science and its claims to authority, and the nature and status of political claims. Together in this volume, these newly translated lectures offer an ideal point of entry into Weber's central project--understanding how, as Weber put it, "in the West alone there have appeared cultural manifestations [that seem to] go in the direction of universal significance and validity."--from back cover
