CRISIS OF IDEAS OR CRISIS OF SCIENCE

Josip Kregar ; Pravni fakultet, Zagreb

Sažetak

ln the article the author considers the problems of constituting
social sciences in Croatia. The social sciences crisis is a global
phenomenon, inevitable due to the nascent stage of the science,
to its pre-paradigmatic phase of development. The insecurity thus
felt has been caused by the non-existance of convincing universal
and general theories traditionally characterizing sociology.
Therefore, this global crisis is transient and apparent because new
ideas could soon change the overall feeling of discontent. The
current circumstances of social and political development and the
feeling of collapse of social values are not favorable ground for
the constitution of sociology. Onthe one hand,too much is expected
of the science (since there is no systematic explanation of
social change), and on the other hand, its role is underestimated
by the constant stigmatization of social sciences as Marxist ones.
Despite the evident lack of logic of these accusations, social
research is denied social and material support.
