Summary/Abstract: The editors of Studia ethnologica wish to initiate discussion about a theoretical basis of ethnological science. The editor’s (Vitomir BELAJ) Plaidoyer stressed the fact that ethnology developed on the basis of two different definitions of its subject matter in one it is defined as gens, kin, tribe - a group of people more or less concious of belonging to the ethnos (A. F. Kollär 1783), and in the other as populus, the "lower" social status (West European ethnology based on works of the French illuminators). Ethnology as a historical science concerned with the ethnic (if it wishes to retain its name) must not, according to the editor, neglect the idea of Kollär’s definition.
