Źródła polskiej myśli socjologicznej w środowisku naukowym Lwowa: pozytywizm Józefa Supińskiego
Sources of Polish sociological thought in Lviv scientific community: positivism of Joseph Supinski

Summary/Abstract: Polish sociological thought has its roots in many sources. Lviv scientific community is one of them, whose influence would certainly be higher if the period of World War II and the final loss of these lands by the reborn Poland, did not stop its development. Socio-cultural environment of Lviv of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century helped to create the beginnings of Polish sociological thought. This happened, among others, through the influence of Lviv scientists for the next generation of students who frequently replenished later scientific community in Warsaw, Krakow, Poznan, and after the Second World War, the Wrocław and Gliwice ones. Polish sociology was formed, as in Western Europe, on the basis of positivism. By moving and adapting these ideas to the Polish conditions by Joseph Supinski, it gained with time its followers, as well as the opponents. Joseph Supinski is credited for Polish sociology to conduct a comprehensive synthesis of positivist’s ideas and giving them a coherent theoretical form, along with an extensive conceptual apparatus.
