Abstract

The heuristic perspectives of Marxist sociology are analyzed. The essence of the binary opposition of assessments of attitudes toward Marxist sociology is revealed. The role of «analytical Marxism» in modern sociological research and the formation of worldview attitudes of different social groups is shown. There are reviews of well-known world sociologists such as E. Durkheim, M. Weber, N. Smelzer, T. Parsons and others. They are about the contribution of Marx to sociological knowledge. The expediency of Marx’s intuitions rethinking and the reformulation of the conceptual apparatus taking into account the current trends in the development of society is substantiated.
