Abstract

The authors discuss the position of sociology as an academic and as an applied discipline. It is showed that sociology was developing firstly as an academic and than as an applicative discipline in different fields. The authors also discuss the need for changes in professional education of sociologists emphasizing the need for an “applied sociologist” and not only for an “conventional".
The authors also discuss the real need for an sociological expertise in Yugoslav society — does society really need a sociological expertise? The authors conclude their presentation pointing out that sociological expertise is very rare in Yugoslavia mostly because of the general idea about sociology as an "common knowledge discipline” and difficulties in promotion of sociology in general in society.
