Teorie pracujące. Pragmatyzm w ujęciu badaczy z grupy Chicago School Irregulars
Working Theories. Pragmatism as Defined by the Researchers From Chicago School Irregulars Group

Summary/Abstract: The article presents an initiative taken at the turn of the 60s and 70s of the 20th century by a group of American researchers tied to the elaboration of practical conclusions from the application of pragmatism principles in social studies. Although there is no single, coherent document summarizing their findings, the subsequent analysis of their achievements and empirical methodology allows for the reconstruction of key assumptions and further reformulation into the guidelines for the followers. Among various findings presented in the article, the focus here is on expected results of research work—theories that meet the fundamental assumptions of pragmatic science, here named working theories.
