“…So maybe the influence of people like Eco and Bourdieu should be thought about in the light of the proverb attributed to the Chinese premier Zhou Enlai. When he was asked about the consequences of the French revolution of 1789, he reputedly replied, 'it's still too early to tell' (Inglis, 2018). Maybe it is still too early to tell about the consequences of another kind of French revolution, one that happened in 1979!…”

What constitutes the field of ‘cultural sociology’ today? Where has it come from, and where is it going? And how has the journal Cultural Sociology played a role in the field over the journal’s 15 years of existence? This article comprises a dialogue between one of the current editors, Christopher Thorpe, and one of the founding editors, David Inglis. Reflecting on these questions, the dialogue also touches on major issues in cultural sociology today; these include the continuing legacy of Bourdieu, the presence of Actor Network Theory, differences between critical-theoretical and Yale School conceptions of cultural autonomy, neo-liberalization processes, the status of postcolonial sociological ideas in the field, attempts to decolonize sociological accounts of culture, and the interplay between mainstream and ‘productively weird’ kinds of cultural sociology.

“…Tracing the historical context and main concerns behind the birth of modern sociology and CST can be a steppingstone in exploring the common ground that can connect these two disciplines. The rise of the modern world in the nineteenth century was precipitated by three great revolutions in the world, namely, the Industrial Revolution, the French Revolution, and the American Revolution, which resulted in the birth of sociology (Inglis 2018) and CST. Both sociology and CST responded to the needs of the century.…”

Drawing on some secondary literature and using sociological perspectives, in this paper, I trace the fundamental conflict and differences between sociology and theology as academic disciplines and draw some implications on why the contributions of sociological inquiries and their empirical assessments of society and human behavior are seldom used in literature and learning materials on Catholic social teaching (CST)—a body of moral principles based on papal, conciliar, and other official Church documents on the Christian faith and social concerns. I argue that despite methodological and theoretical differences, sociology and CST’s moral theology can share a common ground in dealing with the social order: the moral theologizing of CST begins where sociologizing ends. Sociology is a necessary tool to reformulate CST’s Christian message to the constantly changing historical and social contexts and provide empirical illustrations to its moral teachings.

“…In 2018, J P. Arnasson published a monothematic block dedicated to the French Revolution and including, for instance, works by D. Inglis -"Is it still too early to tell? Rethinking sociology's relations to the French Revolution" [20] and I.A Reed -"Power and the French Revolution: Toward a sociology of sovereignty" [42]. *** Thus, the article summarizes results of the ten-year development of historical sociology at the Faculty of Humanities of the Charles University in Prague, which prove a success beneficial not only for Czech sociology but to some extent for international social studies.…”

About ten years ago, a new theoretical branch appeared in Czech sociology -historical sociology. The first step and prerequisite for its development was publication of the impressive collective monograph Historical Sociology: Theory of Long-Term Development (edited by J. Šubrt) including works of famous Czech social scientists (P. Machonin, M. Petrusek, J. Musil, M. Hroch and others). The concept of historical sociology curriculum appeared in 2007, its form gradually developed in the discussions of J. Šubrt, J.P. Arnason (La Trobe University), M. Havelka (Charles University) and W. Spohn (University of Wroclaw). In 2008, its accreditation documents were prepared under the guidance of J. Šubrt, and it was included in the academic year 2009/2010 schedule. At the same time, at the Faculty of Humanities of the Charles University the Department of Historical Sociology was founded. Until now, there are Master's and PhD programs in Historical Sociology in Czech in the form of regular daily and combined (distance) studies.In the academic year 2012/2013, a doctoral studies program was also opened, and both programs -Master's and PhD's -started in English. The article considers the decade-long development of historical sociology in the Czech Republic focusing on the research and study programs at the Faculty of Humanities of the Charles University. The author explains how historical sociology is defined and developing in the Czech Republic, emphasizing its research traditions and current interests. The article pays particular attention to the topics and representatives of historical sociology mentioning the importance of its publicationsboth monographs and the journal established in 2009. To conclude, the author summarizes the results of the current stage of the development of Czech historical sociology, its challenges and risks, hopes and perspectives. Ten years is usually a very short period for any science but for Czech historical sociology they became a period of significant results.
