The Vocation Lectures

Weber's perspective on work as a calling feels deeply rooted in his understanding of society and individual purpose. I wonder what personal or historical influences shaped this view.

Given the current debates around professional ethics and societal roles, it feels like Weber’s ideas might still have a lot to say about modern careers. What are others’ thoughts on that?

His ideas were formed in a different era, but I wonder how they translate to modern careers in tech, activism, or creative industries. Am I the only one questioning this?
