Abstract

The author first defines the sociology of culture as a special branch of sociology and the neighboring diciplines but still subsumed within this scientific discipline (cultural anthropology, sociology or art, sociology of religion, sociology of epistemology, sociology ol science). All of the mentioned disciplines from their own aspects take culture as a complex entity. Then their iner-relation is discussed in order to show the position of the sociologgy of culture within a family of culturological sciences as well as the relationship with the philosophy of culture. The scope and the possibilities of these sciences are discussed in relationship towards culture seen as a complex historical and social and universal human phenomenon and the suplle relation with the society as a totality. Culturology is not understood here as a science about culture, as a phenomenon sui generis (L. White) but as a scientific approach to culture as a social and human product. Nevertheless, it is an entity that cannot be reduced to only social and historical moments towards which it always keeps its relative independence and identity.
