Summary/Abstract: In socialism, i. e., comunism marxist sociology will as a science about sociability and mutual interrelationships of human behavior from the standpoint of social totality primarily determine a degree of development and character of the economic structure of society. Society is a unity of its economic, property, nationality and other relations and thai: is why the task of social science in socialism (communism) is to study and theoretically explain social wholeness, i. e., economic base and its socio-politcal superstructure. Social life has its subjective side, social conscousness with all its forms, and because of that sociology is also a science about social base of human thinking and its forms. Sociology in socialism (communism) studies from the standpoint of the society as a whole social base and social conscousness, as well as the specific character of their development.Sociology in socialism (communism) embraces. also few of its fields (theories) through which it describes the essence of specific human behavior, structure of particular groups, forms and contents of particular changes, meanings and goals of particular actions, character of different forms of knowledge etc. Sociology in Yugoslav socialist society has also its tasks, its range of interests and its theoretical and methodological principles and characteristics. It gets its forms, contents and goals from following sources: a) Yugoslav socialist practice and its experience, b) existing theoretical standpoints contained in the teaching of historical materialism, c) results of specific scientific systems and d) its own logic and empirical researches and interpretations. As to the tasks and duties of the sociology for our contemporary society, out of the mass of phenomena that make its subject matter we may select few problems (phenomena, questions) which are interesting because of their social significance and repercussions they have upon creation of positive moral personality, humane society, development of social principles and bringing to an end of the surpassed system and its structure. These problems are our system of social selfgovernment, principle of distribution to each one according to results of his work, questions concerning relations between rural and urban population, family relations, different deviations etc. Sociology realizes its tasks in our socialist society by being applied in different fields of social life. It becomes more and more empirically founded theoretical science which develops its own disciplines (for example: settlement sociology, criminology, sociology of public opinion, political relations, social selfgovernment, sociology of family etc.).
