Selected Regulatory Ideas in the International Relations Science

Summary/Abstract: The purpose of the text is to present how the substance of the philosophy of scienceis presented in the international relations science literature. The research problem,however, is: how what belongs to the meta-theory of international relations scienceis combined in the discourse of this discipline with the issues of both the traditionalphilosophy of science and the philosophy of social sciences. The first importantissue raised in the text is the attempt to define how the philosophy of scienceis understood in the international relations literature. Then, the paper presentshow the issues of philosophy of science overlap the meta-theory of internationalrelations science. Another issues addressed, are a number of specific problemsin the philosophy of science, such as the concept of truth, the demarcation criterion,the issue of rationality of science or scientific progress, and how these issuesfunction in the perception of representatives of the discipline. Attention is drawn toa number of problems regarding the reception of the philosophy of science in the fieldof international relations science. Finally, the text proposes an original conceptof the perception of the issue of philosophy of science within the internationalrelations science, based on the ideals of science, the category derived from thethought of Stefan Amsterdamski. This, in turn, allows the substance that has beenmentioned above to undergo a new interpretation, indicating the regulatory ideasaccording to which (normatively) the international relations science should bedeveloped and at least outline (empirically) which regulatory ideas in fact governthis social practice.
