On the Humanistic Perspective of Sociology: Theses for Discussion
Ivan Kuvačić
; Filozofski fakultet, Zagreb
Sažetak
According to the already classic dilemmas, one can view sociology and sociologists as »engineers of human spirits« or as basically humanistically-directed and value-engaged observers and analysts of the social system. The question which is considered in this article is the following: what is the role of sociology and of sociologists in Yugoslav society? It is necessary to thank the critical understanding of the role of sociology as well as the necessity for scientific study of self-management as a world phenomenon for the rapid development of sociology in Yugoslavia. A worsening of the social position of sociology which began in Yugoslavia in the mid-seventies raises the question of its further development as an essentially humanistic science which has strong links to philosophy. The treatment of sociology as exclusively a social science has led to an ever more »service-like« position and has basically hindered its further development. However, we believe that it is a matter of passing difficulties, and that the need for continuous improvement of social relations and sociology as a link between social research and humanist criticism will be all the more necessary.
