Science as a vocation
Book • 1946
'Science as a Vocation' is an essay by Max Weber that explores the values and purposes of science, its relationship to other spheres of life, and the personal qualities required of a scientist.
Weber reflects on the role of science in a disenchanted world, where rationalization and bureaucracy have displaced traditional forms of authority and meaning.
He emphasizes the importance of intellectual integrity, passion, and the ability to confront uncomfortable truths in the pursuit of scientific knowledge.
The essay delves into the challenges and responsibilities of the scientist in a modern, rationalized society.
Weber's insights provide a foundation for understanding the social and cultural significance of science and its impact on individuals and institutions.
