Socialism, Sociology, Sanctity

Sažetak
All social changes to date have not brought man-made sanctity into question. Grounded in the lives of people as one of the greatest values and distinguished from the profane according to characteristics which escape human measurement, the sacred is also preserved in socialism. This is evidenced by the fact that not only have the archetypes survived from which one can create such ideas, but also all those creative factors have appeared which the existing world turns into the completion of sacred products. Changing places in society (in which a part of its members also insert the need for submission to authoritative grandeur in the conception of dignity), the sacred is nevertheless most often embodied in the leader, the nation, in ideology. With the translation of the products of society into sacred objects, their believers unconsciously (except when it concerns conscious instrumentalization) in this way realize those interests which represent an expression of everyday life needs.
Divined objects sometimes are benign for society, but sometimes can have catastrophic consequences.
The task of sociology is to raise the most elementary questions on the circumstances in which the old sacred objects are retained and new ones appear. This is especially the case in socialism in which unjustifiably a tacit conviction is created that it constructs history unburdened from known illusions. Such study would then also provide more satisfactory answers to the question of whether life of a society without illusions is at all possible.
