Abstract

This rapid response to the latest publication, or, to be specifically exact, this rapid review of the “Dictionary of the Newest Sociological Lexicon” compiled by S.A. Kravchenko [Кравченко С.А. Словарь новейшей социологической лексики: теории, понятия, персоналии (с английскими эквивалентами). М., 2012. 000 с.], raises questions pertaining to the contemporary condition of the world sociology. The reviewer points to theoretical and practical significance of the newly published dictionary for a broad circle of readers. And besides, the reviewer notes, in particular, that the new publication is fit not only to serve as a reference book, but also to take upon itself certain functions of a manual.
