Summary/Abstract: The author analyse« the position and significance of communicology from various aspects, and in particular from the position of the structure and the function of self-managing socialist society. In this connection he criticizes the model of a one way deductive dissemination as inappropriate to sell-managing society and advocates the two way system of public communication in which all citizens can communicate with anybody and on anything. Adequate production forces for this model exist, or more precisely, there exists an adequate hardware system of electronic communication which is a precondition for the building and further development of two-way communication. The author, in his interdisciplinary analysis of the role and position of communicology - as a science of the optimalization of communication - puts a special stress on the functional connection between communicology and politology. For it is through their working together that it is possible to overcome the macrocommunication model of total political acting according to the Freund-Feind (friend-enemy) formula, inappropriate to the historical moment and to existing hardware means for more direct and free communication between people.
