Abstract

Max Weber’s famous essays “politics as a vocation” and “science as a vocation” leave open the question of what one might mean by “sociology as a vocation”. What might “sociology as a vocation” have meant for Weber? In today’s conditions what might we mean by “sociology as a vocation”? The answer will vary from place to place, but can there also be a common vision for sociology? Is there something distinctive about sociology as compared to economics and political science? Or should they all be dissolved into a single social science?
