Weber makes it clear that he believes specialization is a necessity. He also believes that one should pursue a field he/she is passionate in; otherwise there is no chance that it will work out. He however views specialization in a scientific field in two ways. Weber states the “problem of the meaning of science” is that science can provide explanations to validate a point, yet it cannot provide a reason for its importance. Science cannot answer man’s most fundamental questions, and is not able to guide men in their daily lives.
Weber also states that a professor should educate his students with knowledge, give them facts, and instruct them on how to formulate their own opinions. A teacher, according to Weber, should never use the classroom and his status as a lecturer to spout his personal and biased views.
