Summary/Abstract: After 1989, Polish sociology became a sociology of change. The contemporary scientific reflection formed part of the social trying to understand the new and changing reality and, like her, subject to change with successive stages of transformation. Illustrative of the issues discussed was the issue addressed in subsequent meetings sociological over the past decades. In the text, I assumed that the unceasing variability and dynamics of social life, forcing sociologists to reflect over the legitimacy of the use of previously developed concepts, tools and theories. There can be divided into two positions: a radical, involving the rejection of the old and the need to develop completely new concepts, tools and theories, and moderate, assuming the need to revise existing, but with the use of the concepts and theories of well-established in the existing tradition of sociological thought. The conclusions of this research show that sociological theories follow social transformations, systematically confronting the old ideas with the changing reality and building new ones that expand the existing capabilities of explanation, or simply replace them.
