Wissenschaft als Beruf/ Politik als Beruf

Weber's famous speeches which he delivered to students in Munich at the end of his life, are presented together in a historical critical edition for the first time. Included are also a newspaper report of Science as a Vocation and the notes Weber used for Politics as a Vocation. Through an introduction as well as through editorial reports and detailed commentaries the speeches, which Weber had revised for publication, are made accessible to the reader as never before. They contain Weber's view of the modern world and its meaning problems in essence.
