Sociologie - neúspěšný pokus o kamerální vědu pro 20. století
Sociology – An Unsuccessful Attempt for the Cameral Science for the 20th Century

Summary/Abstract: The study presents the attempts to apply sociology to the management of (modern) society based on the founders of sociology and from the strong influence of T.G. Masaryk that was especially significant in the Czech environment. Along with other pioneers, Masaryk introduced sociology to Czech society as early as the late 19th and early 20th century. The success of his exile politics during the Great War that resulted in the establishment of independent Czechoslovakia further enhanced the importance of sociology as an emblematic science of the state. In inter-war Czechoslovakia, sociology enjoyed a prominent status (in the European context) and further developed, even though its contribution to the solution of the social problems and crises of the time was only marginal. It proved more usable during the first occupation by the Nazis during World War Two, and primarily as part of the post-war restoration before the communist power (temporarily) eliminated it. Even then, sociological attempts to manage society only reached the rhetoric and preparation levels, and even then sociology did not become a widespread modern cameral science in Czechoslovakia.
