Contents/Summary

Summary
All Socialist countries of Eastern Europe—with the exception of Albania—witnessed an expansion of sociological research, teaching, and publication in the 1960s. In some of these countries, as this anthology edited by Jerzy J. Wiatr shows, these developments constituted a con­tinuation of old traditions; while in others they came after a longer or shorter period during which the study of sociology was completely or partially absent in the life of the societies in this vast geographical area. This volume opens with an introductory chapter by Professor Wiatr on present trends. The introductory report is followed by individual chapters from seven East European countries. The contributors and coun­tries represented are: Stoyan Mikailov and Radi Vassilev (Institute of Sociology, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences) Bulgaria; Jan Macku (Purkyne University) Czechoslovakia; András Hegedüs (Hungarian Academy of Sciences) Hungary; Wladyslaw Markiewicz (Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznan) Poland; Mihail Cernea (Institute of Philosophy, Rumanian Academy of Sciences) and Ion Matei (Center of Sociological Research, Rumanian Academy of Sciences) Rumania; Elena V. Osipova (Institute of Philosophy, Academy of Sciences of the USSR) The Soviet Union; and Oleg Mandic (The University of Zagreb) Yugoslavia. All the essays were written for this volume. As a unique sociological formulation in English, Jerzy J. Wiatr’s book provides students, scholars, and professional people with valuable insights into the current Marxist view of society.
