Abstract
The article is aimed at the analysis of theoretical, methodological and applied problems of comprehension and use of sociological knowledge by non-sociologists: scientists, other scholars and social activists. It is concluded that sociologists should not only facilitate an interdisciplinary communication with the aim of mutual understanding and practical contacts between scholars, scientists and civic activists but to direct this communication towards modernization and transit Russian society to the phase of “knowledge society”. Methodologically, it means conversion of a sociologist into “insider”, whereas technologically — his/her participation in the maintenance of interdisciplinary dialogue, in creation networks tied scientific, expert and practical knowledge.
Keywords:
