W obronie nauk europejskich i miejsca w nich filozofii
In defense of European sciences and the place of philosophy within them

Summary/Abstract: The need for defending European sciences of attempts to imposing onto them American patterns offunctioning is for me an obvious matter. This threat occurred already in the first decades of the lastcentury (these were pointed out among others by Max Weber). Since then this process of americanization(called today implementing of the Bologna process) has increased, finding support withinministerial assemblies, deciding on the directions of development of these sciences, as well amongscholars who’s research might be easily translated into practical applications. I do not claim thatsuch research is not important for the progress of science. I do claim however that recognizing thisresearch as the only one that matters and supporting them practically (for example through grantingthem a larger part of financial means) and depriving of the so called “philosophical core” is not justmaking them shallow but also an evidence for not understanding what science was, is and shouldbe. I support my claims in this matter through the opinions of Edmund Husserl and Allan Bloom.
