Abstract

This article is both a comment on the collection of papers, “Specialists with Spirit: Re-Enchanting the Vocation of Science,” offered as a tribute to Klaas van Berkel, and an attempt to add historical depth to present-day sensibilities about the academic discipline called the history of science: Is it a special sort of inquiry? Is science as its subject matter a special sort of culture? Max Weber’s 1917 Science as a Vocation lecture, and its continuing appropriations, is a focal point for addressing these questions.

有精神的专家：为科学的使命重新着色

本文既是对论文集《有精神的专家》的评论：作为对 Klaas van Berkel 的致敬，本文既是对论文集 "有精神的专家：重新赋予科学以魅力 "的评论，也试图为当今人们对科学史这一学科的认识增添历史的深度：它是一种特殊的探究吗？科学作为其主题是否是一种特殊的文化？马克斯-韦伯（Max Weber）1917 年发表的 "科学是一种天职"（Science as a Vocation）演讲，以及对这一演讲的不断引用，是探讨这些问题的一个焦点。

期刊介绍： Endeavour, established in 1942, has, over its long and proud history, developed into one of the leading journals in the history and philosophy of science. Endeavour publishes high-quality articles on a wide array of scientific topics from ancient to modern, across all disciplines. It serves as a critical forum for the interdisciplinary exploration and evaluation of natural knowledge and its development throughout history. Each issue contains lavish color and black-and-white illustrations. This makes Endeavour an ideal destination for history and philosophy of science articles with a strong visual component. Endeavour presents the history and philosophy of science in a clear and accessible manner, ensuring the journal is a valuable tool for historians, philosophers, practicing scientists, and general readers. To enable it to have the broadest coverage possible, Endeavour features four types of articles: -Research articles are concise, fully referenced, and beautifully illustrated with high quality reproductions of the most important source material. -In Vivo articles will illustrate the rich and numerous connections between historical and philosophical scholarship and matters of current public interest, and provide rich, readable explanations of important current events from historical and philosophical perspectives. -Book Reviews and Commentaries provide a picture of the rapidly growing history of science discipline. Written by both established and emerging scholars, our reviews provide a vibrant overview of the latest publications and media in the history and philosophy of science. -Lost and Found Pieces are playful and creative short essays which focus on objects, theories, tools, and methods that have been significant to science but underappreciated by collective memory.
