Sažetak

In the article an analysis is carried out which examines the conditions of the birth of sociology in general and specifically in Yugoslavia. The authors expose two thesis: first — social crises as giving birth to sociology (Comte), and second — the foundation of sociology in any society is specifically determined by, the governing ideology and the power relations. The analysis of the social conditions during the time when sociology was founded confirms the theses.
The beginning of sociology as a science and as a profession is marked by the fact that sociology firstly starts as an academic scientific discipline and then, later develops it's application. It is interesting that many other professions start as a craft and skill and then develop into theoretical orientation and become professions. Because of the very specific start of sociology it is understandable that there still exists the gap between academic (theoretical only) and practical, applicative and research sociology.
The social context in which sociology develops and acts and the dichotomy within sociology itself in the long run marks the position, orientation and the level of development of sociology as well äs the future of the professionalization of sociology in a given society. The conditioning of sociology by the social context and it's inner dichotomy is the basic skeleton of the analysis in this work.
There main specific fields relevant for a specific profession are analyzed. First — the levels of development of the basic elements of a profession, i.e., the basic theories and technics of a sociological profession, the level of professional monopoly, the image of that profession, in society, the organizational level of the profession and the ethics of the sociological profession.
The second analysis examines the process of socialization of a sociological profession, and a third analysis examines the future of a profession in Yugoslav society.
