Social Analysis, Volume 13, 2023 - Scientia Publishing House – Sapientia Hungarian University of Transylvania

Acta Universitatis Sapientiae, Social Analysis Vol. 13, 2023 is now available.
This issue provides a thematic overview of the history of sociology in Romania and Hungary over the past century. Although the individual studies in this volume are not intended to be explicitly comparative, the common features, research themes, goals, and scientific quests that characterize the sociology of the two countries together are clearly visible when the entire content is considered. In both countries, the challenge is the same: how to thematize sociology as an axiologically neutral science in the context of the two world wars, and then, in the face of the socialist regime, how to sustain sociological research that is tolerated by a totalitarian regime. Finally, a common element is how the sociology of our time rescues, recreates, and ultimately preserves the sociological legacy of the last century.
