Ontologia społeczna w świetle filozofii Romana Ingardena
Social Ontology in the View of Roman Ingarden’s Philosophy

Summary/Abstract: In social ontology we are conducts investigations into how social and institutional facts exist, what is a social group or collective intentionality. Phenomenology is one of the 20th-century philosophical movements whose contributions of its representatives over the aforementioned topics are significant (including von Hildebrandt, Reinach, Scheler, Stein). The purpose of this article is to consider Ingarden’s potential contribution to social ontology. The article is divided into two parts: an overview and an interpretation. In the first, I point out why phenomenology is misguidedly considered “asocial”. In the second, I reconstruct Ingarden’s metaontological views from his magnum opus: Controversy over the Existence of the World. According to his declaration in this books, socio-legal objects are entities with heteronomous and purely intentional elements. In the article I will show that Ingarden explicite did not formulate a theory of social being, but on the basis of his ontology a sketch of such a theory can be trying to be presented. In order to achieve this, I thought it was relevant to attempt to outline the difference between the objects of fiction and socio-legal objects within its ontology.
