Summary/Abstract: With its basis in clearly oriented demarcation between the civic and socio-historical processes, the study “Importance and Functions of Social Theory in Scientific Researching of the Civic Relations System and Civic Viewpoint” points at vital settings and consequences of their identification, respectively in the areas of functionality and aspirations that even performs, carries and produces such identification. The civic position and points of view primarily advocate the presenting and laying down in which way the given structures and institutions of civic process achieve their purpose and function, regardless of the fact that with a lesser or greater extent of commitment to these motifs and preoccupations leave insufficiently considered the conditionality, mutual influence, objective social meaning, qualitative intensity, intended or ideological motivated interests determined rationality or irrationality and relationships produced by these determinants. The resolute overlook, lack of referring to and neglecting these determinants’ agents are derived from social conditions and relationships, which are primarily a consequence of using this procedure, and as such cannot afford the framework by which would the carried out proceedings through the application of the consistency principle confirmed acceptance of the scientific-theoretical relevance and respectability. In order to make the valid research results serving to the inevitable foothold and place the primordial regularity in backing of the applicable principles and criteria’s measures pledged to partially elucidate the trademark features of, generated by the continuity, civic statuses, respectively civic motives build through interests and relationships. Considering the civil sphere of creation and enabling of relationships in its important involvement, maintenance, constitution and generating of structures, condition and situations in society, social theory realizes the possibility of scientifically recognized and accepted evaluation, reaching the axioms which provide the research method only with reliability, solely confirms the allegation that achieved results ought to be accepted as valid ones. The research process’ affirmation through the conceptual articulated and confirmed by the methodological postulates accepted through the verified and approved coherence with nature of life-giving sustainable reality supersedes the aberration finally expressed through the vicious circle, boarding from falling either into the so-called crude empiricism or equally failing to give the incent to space whose outcomes are metaphysical objectifications or speculations.
