Summary/Abstract: The analysis aims at redirection of the sociological view from the theorizing assumptions of the world (irrespective of the starting position: „theoretical“, „empirical“ or seeking balance between scientific and everyday constructs) to the ordinary practices over the course of their development. The work which is coming out from this redirection is indicated by the term „socio-logics“ with an emphasis on the „practical logics“ opening before the researcher and on the resulting sociological commitments. The analysis is focused on two key sociological texts – Harvey Sacks and Harold Garfinkel’s paper „On Formal Structures of Practical Actions“ and Sacks’ lecture „Omni-relevant Devices“ – and points to some practico-logical problems of everyday understanding. By putting the two texts together under the rubric „socio-logics“ the common point of interest of Ethnomethodology and Conversation Analysis is indicated and a field of analysis, ignored by the contemporary sociology is outlined.
