Abstract
ABSTRACTThis article is an introduction to the current thematic issue dedicated to the seminal lecture by Max Weber ‘Science as a vocation’, published in 1919. Its centenary is worth celebrating because the work discovered new trends in the social nature of science in the very making of its professional institutional structure. In fact, this Weber text was one of the first to shape the agenda for the social studies of science. The proposed overview of the contributed articles shows how Weber’s problems receive critical elaboration in concrete cases dealing with the social and technical sciences, methodological and ethical normativity, and science popularization.
