Konceptualne pasożyty czy platformy do dyskusji? Recenzja: J.Tittenbrun, Kolonizacja nauki i świata przez kapitał. Teoria światów równoległych w wydaniu socjologii wiedzy
Conceptual parasites or platforms for discussion? Review: J.Tittenbrun, Colonization of science and the world through capital. The theory of parallel worlds in the sociology of knowledge edition

Summary/Abstract: This publication is an uneven book. You can see the emotions that appeared during her writing. This can be treated as an objection or, on the contrary, a positive phenomenon, involving the reader in a discussion with the author, but it must be a reader who is well-read and rather well versed in the issues raised at work. Otherwise, he will not gain much from this reading. This is not a classic academic argument or classic scientific work. The presence of numerous examples and the multiplicity (sometimes even crowding) of information make the work look like a compendium of knowledge about the multiplicity of existing capitals. This is a critical work. The phenomena of commodification and privatization of many areas of life described in it have already been described earlier, including by K. Polanyi, to whom the author, moreover, relies. In the Great Transformation, K. Polanyi warned that the consolidation of the market mechanism "means nothing less than the permission to transform society into an addition to the market, an addition such that the social framework is shaped by economic means, allowing the latter to function according to their own rules ".
