PAUL NEeBURG examines the paradoxical position of sociology in Eastern Europe: having been denounced as a ' bourgeois pseudo-science ' under Stalin, it has enjoyed a considerable revival in the last 20 years. And it is the need to study young people's attitudes which has provided the stimulus. Mr Neuburg is a Hungarian-born writer on social affairs who has recently revisited Eastern Europe researching into the problems of its post-war generation.
