WEBER, Max Science as a Vocation in Hans H Gerth and C Wright Mills (eds.) From Max Weber: Essays in Sociology (New York: Oxford University Press, 1946), pp. 129-156. This paper assesses the epistemological and ontological foundations of Max Weber's article, "Science as a Vocation." It identifies the distinction Weber made between scientific reality-the earth has gravitational pull-and the social existence of scientists-who must secure appointments and develop a 'career.' In the former realm Weber identifies epistemological certainty and in the latter, social imperatives. 5 pgs. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
