Sažetak
The sociology of sport is a distinct discipline of a general social science which analyses sport as a scientific and global phenomenon as well as a specific sub-cultural phenomenon. Contemporary research tradition in the sociology of sport is marked by the domination of three paradigms: positivist, critical, and interpretative. Their conflicts are usually explained from a methodological perspective as a conflict of the so called quantitative and qualitative methodology. The present situation in this discipline of the general sociology is mainly sees as as more or less temporary state, mainly defined by the struggle of alternative concepts of sport and physical education on the one side and the mainstream positivistic approach of its research. The article offers a contribution to the new approach of sport and physical education research, through a systematization of alternative vision of these notions. New directions of the analysis are offered, ranging from post-modern analyses to visionary explanations related to the coming of the "New Age", the time of Aquarius.
