Many educational issues concern moral-education and professional-education today. These two areas connect in the professional ethics. Main problem of it lies in the following question: What is the necessary condition for a profession to be a "calling" (Beruf) in the meaning of Luther's usage? In this article we shall deal especially with the ethos of politics as a vocation, following Max Weber's essay with the same title. There is some tension between politics and ethics. The ethics (of good will) absolutely demands every person without exception to follow it. Nevertheless, true politician can not follow these demands unconditionally as far as he realizes that he is responsible for means and results of his political conduct. Here arises the conflict between two orientations of ethics- "ethics of ultimate ends" (Gesinnungsethik) and "ethics of responsibility" (Verantwortungsethik). The term "ethics" in common usage means the former. Every political conduct which simply. orients to the former principle tends to result in irresponsible fanatism, because it fails to realize that there are no proper means to the ultimate ends at all, and yet it tries in vain to get it immediately. Therefore, rational consideration on the relationship between ends and means is one of the indispensable elements of real ethics in the world. But on the other hand, a simply technical rationality never produces responsibility. True and real ethics can be founded only on the combination of these two elements. We may call them "ethos of consistency" (Wertrationalitat) and "ethos of rational means" (Zweckrationalitat). Trying all possible means in the given conditions, and then making decision according to one's own belief; these are the decisive conditions for a man to have the "calling for politics"- not only for politics but for any other professions.
