Življenjska zgodba profesorja Jožeta Goričarja (1907–1985) je zgodba pravnika, ki se skozi svet pravniške prakse prebija na širše področje družboslovja in v prelomnem obdobju povojne graditve sledi notranjemu nagnjenju, ki ga vodi v poklic univerzitetnega učitelja na mladem področju sociologije. Danes velja za ustanovitelja in utemeljitelja slovenske sociološke znanosti, kot izjemen pedagog in mentor številnim vedoželjnim sociologom pa je bistveno prispeval k vzletu sociologije kot znanstvene discipline. Profesor Goričar najbolje pooseblja pionirsko generacijo sociologov, ki je v povojnem času utirala pot sociološki znanosti v našem akademskem prostoru in služila kot vir navdiha vsem, ki so se na to pot šele podajali. Sestavek poskuša razprostreti njegovo življenje in delo ter opozoriti na nekatere pomembnejše dosežke Goričarjevega pedagoškega in znanstvenega prispevka, sklene pa z njegovim razmišljanjem o odmiranju prava.

The story of Professor Jože Goričar (1907–1985) is a story of a lawyer who, through the world of law practice, delved into the broader field of social sciences, and in a crucial period of post-war construction followed an internal tendency that lead him to the profession of university teacher in the fledgling field of sociology. He laid the foundations of Slovenian sociological science and made a significant contribution to the rise of sociology as a scientific discipline through decades of academic work as an outstanding educationist and mentor to many young sociologists. Professor Goričar best embodies the pioneering generation of sociologists who, in the post-war period, paved the way for sociological science in our academic milieu and served as a source of inspiration to all who had just embarked on this journey. The article attempts to outline his life and work and highlight some of the significant achievements of Goričar’s pedagogical and scholarly contribution. It concludes by taking a closer look at his understanding of becoming and withering away of the law.
