This article focuses on Czech pre-Marxist sociological journals - 'Sociologická revue' (established in 1930, published until 1940, and again in 1946-49) and 'Sociálni problémy' (established 1931, published 1931-1938/39 and 1947/48) - and compares how they functioned with the work of the contemporary 'Sociologický casopis/Czech Sociological Review' (analysed volumes 32 (1996) to 41 (2005)). Although the internal situation of the branch and its public evaluation were rather different during each of the two periods, the author believes that looking back at the well-established earlier period of Czech sociology can provide some comparative data for a better understanding of the current situation and its imperfections. First, the author quantitatively analyses the 'genre' composition of the old and new journals and concludes that in the earlier publications reviews and scientific polemics were more strongly represented, whilst the papers - especially those in 'Sociologická revue' - were less likely to be connected with any empirical research. Conversely, the old sociologists were highly involved in the public sphere, which included student education and active participation in policy making. Nowadays, Czech sociologists tend to be wrapped up in themselves; they produce better theoretical and empirical papers, but the number produced per person has decreased, and their reception is probably weaker. In the article the author also analyses the means of recruitment of the journals' editorial boards, relations within the Czech sociological community itself and its relations abroad, and other issues of the sociology of Czech sociology, past and present.

This is an exercise in the fi eld of a sociology of sociology. It draws upon the debate on 'sociological theory we need' at the beginning of the 21st century, which was held at the Lisbon 2009 Conference of the European Sociological Association (semi-plenary session). The invited speakers presented two cases of the 'theory we need': 'sociology of individuals' and 'critical theory'. The author analyses theoretical discussions held at recent big (European and 'global') sociological congresses and comes to the conclusion that the Lisbon 2009 diagnosis of what is really important in sociological theorizing was wrong. Similarly, in Polish textbooks and readers in the fi eld of sociological theory, these two subdisciplines do not seem to be very signifi cant. The detailed discussion of the proposed in Lisbon 'sociology of individuals' and 'critical theory' follows. In concluding chapter of the article, the author analysis what and why is considered in recent Poland, at the beginning of the 21st century, a 'sociology of individuals' and critical sociology' of the post-communist transformation.
