WIEDZA NAUKOWA W DOCIEKANIACH BADAWCZYCH FLORIANA ZNANIECKIEGO
SCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGE IN THE RESEARCH INQUIRIES OF FLORIAN ZNANIECKI

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the text is to show Florian Znaniecki’s contribution to the exploration of scientific knowledge. The scientist devoted a lot of space to dissecting numerous aspects related to this knowledge. However, these were not elaborated and presented by him in a compact form, nor were they pursued according to a specific research programme. They are scattered over many publications, written at different times and undertaken for different motives. It was necessary to extract them from his rich oeuvre and submit them in a reasonably coherent form. This was done using a scheme drawn from a proposal by Maria and Stanisław Ossowski, intended by the authors to tie together the threads that would be dealt with in the science of science. After slight modifica- tion, it consists of the following sections: reflections on the sociology of scientific knowledge closely linked to the philosophy of science, sociological science of knowledge as one of many branches of culture, scientific knowledge in the context of collective life, issues of an institutional and organisational nature related to scientific knowledge, historical analyses relating to scientific knowledge.
