Overview

Originally published separately,Weber's ""Science as a Vocation"" and ""Politics as a Vocation"" stand as the classic 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 and the ultimate justification for such claims.

...this is a highly readable tranlation of Weber's two most famous essays, and provides a good exposition of their major thmes. -- Prof. John Dreijmanis, Max Weber Studies, Vol. 7 No. 1, January 2007. [Owen and Strong] beautifully weave together the historical, philosophical, academic and personal circumstances that shaped Weber's world-view and these efforts reward the reader with a nuanced and thorough understanding... Students, and even established academics, will benefit tremendously from this new edition. Rating: ***** --Jeffrey Roberts, University of Kent, in Political Studies Review
