Abstract
This editorial introduces the collection, “Specialists with Spirit: Re-Enchanting the Vocation of Science,” co-edited by Dorien Daling and Hanneke Hoekstra. The collection offers a tribute to the eminent historian of science, Klaas van Berkel, commemorating his retirement from the University of Groningen. The papers compel us to consider the ongoing tensions between knowledge production and the social, political, and economic constraints faced by scholars, a theme that Max Weber famously addressed in his 1917 lecture, Wissenschaft als Beruf, which the collection’s contributors revisit as they consider a range of historical and contemporary questions concerning science and its study by historians.
