Summary/Abstract: As a member of the Czech Sociological Association, on 16 March 2018, I took an opportunity to participate as a passive observer at a colloquium at Masaryk Universityin Brno organized by the Sociological Theory Section. The section is an important partof the Czech Sociological Association and, along with others (Sociology of Medicine,Health and Illness Section, Sociology of Religion Section), has contributed to an advancement of Czech sociological theories, and sometimes also, it helped to explainimportance for empirical research. To be more specific, each paper from eight sociologists (Csaba Szaló, František Znebejánek, Martin Hájek, Jiří Šubrt, Dilbar Alieva,Jakub Mlynář, Markéta Sedláčková, Miroslav Paulíček) explored the relevance of sociological theories in the twenty-first century, focusing on diverse aspects of theirindividual currents. The papers were complemented by frequent commentaries andquestions from the audience, which was composed of Czech and Slovak sociologistsas well as representatives of a variety of institutions, such as the publishing houseSlon, and several research institutes.
