Summary/Abstract: This research examines migration processes and refugee issues from the perspective of interpretive sociology. It aims to modernize Florian Znaniecki's classic paradigm in light of current migration events. Specifically, the focus is on the sociological monograph titled "The Polish Peasant in Europe and America," both empirically and theoretically. The main thesis asserts the need for a comprehensive theoretical and methodological framework for the study of migration and its associated problems. Given the extensive scope of these phenomena and their direct impact on various social spheres, the research argues for incorporating the "humanistic coefficient" proposed by Florian Znaniecki into the theoretical framework. In this context, the "humanistic coefficient" is applied to refugee problems and contemporary research materials using the biographic method. The research was presented at the Annual Scientific Conference of the Bulgarian Sociological Association in 2022.
