Review article
Outstanding quality of Josip Županov as a researcher of Croatian society
Dražen Lalić
Abstract
The article is grounded on the assessment that Josip Županov was
above all original and distinguished researcher of contemporary croatian society. The author establishes and elaborates six features of Županov's sociological work: his expressed readiness and capability to absorb in his analyses core social themes and processes; Županov's specific and productive relation towards
sociological theory; his theoretical interpretative lucidity; his critical and radical approach to the scarsiness of empirical data on contemporary croatian society; interestingness of articles and public statements of that distinguished sociologist; achievements of Županov as societaly engaged intellectual. The article conclude with the overall statement that Josip Županov was unique sociologist
and as such has strongly contributed to explaining and understanding
of the intensive societal changes that marked the exciting times he lived through.
