Max Weber-Gesamtausgabe

This volume contains more than 100 statements by Max Weber on universities and academic policy. It documents his work as a professor in Freiburg, Heidelberg and later in Munich and his involvement in the Verein für Sozialpolitik (Association for Social Policy), the founding of the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Soziologie as well as his speeches at the Deutscher Hochschullehrertag. In these, Weber expresses his concept of the role of a university teacher as described subsequently in his famous lecture on »Science as a Vocation.« This volume contains texts from the period between 1895 and 1920, thus comprising close to Weber's entire lifetime as a scholar. It also documents Weber's personality and his enormous commitment to implementing his ideals, in particular freedom from value judgment.
