Summary/Abstract: Th is article illustrates the presumed axiological and ideological neutrality ofmodern Polish politology. Th eoretical cognition in social sciences is set in an ideologicalperspective of various social classes. Political science, similarly to other fi elds in therealm of social sciences, remains under the strict infl uence of the variables of awareness,strongly situated in European culture based on individualism. In terms of meaning, contentand understanding, social sciences are autonomous to a signifi cantly lesser extent.Political science seems to legitimize the current institutional order, which petrifi es thepower of multinational corporations over seemingly independent states, labor, the naturalworld and the individual, as well as the collective mind. Th is is precisely the reason,why a critical, non-partisan and autonomous scientist must be guided by a globallyunderstood sense of rationality in his/her analysis of social problems and developmental tendencies proposed by the neoliberal confi guration of “capitalism without borders”.
