Abstract
25–28 August 2015 the ESA 12th Conference “Differences, Inequalities and Sociological Imagination” took place in Prague. The largest professional sociological association in Europe holds on the significant — pretending on being the most representative — meeting of sociologists. The article deals with Preliminary Results of the conference, designs its main themes and subjects. The concepts, mentioned in conference’s title, were discussed and differently interpreted during the conference, but a general direction of reflexion can be distinguished through the following concepts: diversity and sociological imagination. In general, European sociologists characterize the contemporary society as post-crisis one, but at the same time the uncertainty rests one of the main concepts, and precariat is considered as a constantly growing social group, which takes a very important place in social structure. Theoretical frames, which are determined by this researching focus, form on the ideas of appropriate thinkers, such as A. Giddens, P. Bourdieu, B. Latour, U. Beck, Z. Bauman.

Summary
Многообразие как принцип, или чем больше, тем лучше Социологам положено любить цифры, потому чем более внушительную статистику может представить масштабное научное собы-. И хотя официально она появилась среди направлений исследований Европейской социологической ассоциации еще в 2004 г., социологическое воображение как «титульный» концепт конференции придает ей новый импульс. Удачным можно признать введение с этой целью понятия «исследование ценностей» (“value studies”) — все большее распространение “studies” как способа обозначения более или менее институционализированного предметного поля маркирует междисциплинарность в качестве базового принципа социальных исследований.
