Fr. Władysław Piwowarski (1929–2001) as a sociologist of religion

Summary/Abstract: Fr. prof. Władysław Piwowarski is known in Poland and abroad primarily as a sociologist of religion. His sociological works are an important component (one would like to say – classic) of Polish sociology of religion, they have determined and still determine its development. Most of them closed a certain stage in the development of the sociology of religion in Poland and opened a new one. It would be difficult to imagine a thorough study of religiosity today without taking into account the sociological achievements of Fr. prof. Piwowarski. In this study, we focus only on selected aspects of his concept of the sociology of religion and the sociology of the Church. We omit his scientific achievements in the areas of the sociology of morality, the sociology of the family, the sociology of ritual, social philosophy, Catholic social science, and pastoral theology. Piwowarski’s achievements in the field of theory, methodology of the sociology of religion and empirical research allow the statement that he is the founder of the Lublin school of sociology.
