One of the frequently discussed features of sociology are its modest possibilities - compared with natural sciences and, even, psychology - of conducting experimental research. Hence the supposition that sociology encounters in the sphere of experiment certain obstacles which are either unknown to those sciences or not met by them in such in such a form and intensity. The aim of this paper is to depict those barriers to experimenting on individuals and social systems. Three main barriers - technical, social-psychological, and axiological are indentified and analyzed.

Firstly, this article outlines the main points made by Peter Winch in his breakthrough book The Idea of a Social Science. Its Fundamentals thesis, inspired by Wittgenstein and his accounts on the relation between language and reality, is the assumption that social sciences engage in philosophical endeavor, because the problems they deal with are not empirical, but conceptual. Following Wittgensteinian line of thought he comes up with the idea that all social action can be explained as rule following and therefore it should be approached by conceptual means other than those used by natural sciences. Secondly, this article explores the impact that The Idea of a Social Science had on the discussion about the nature of social sciences. It outlines it's main critiques which deal with (1) Winch's conception of philosophy (2) the notion of rule following and (3) descriptive nature of Winch's approach. Finally, Winch's critique of positivism in social sciences is identified as his main and lasting contribution to social thought.

Based on research on the production of new linguistic elements, this article explores the ways in which we can trace the role of these new linguistic elements in the development of methodological interactions in the social sciences and humanities. This allows, on one hand, to trace and rethink the modern state of social processes, which are becoming increasingly dynamic due to the fragmentation and non-homogeneity of social formations. On the other hand, it opens possibilities for investigating the potential of language for heuristic transfer of concepts from one theoretical area to another, and for interdisciplinary interaction between knowledge from various disciplines that explore different typological issues. It also enhances new ways of developments of linguistic forms as well as the disciplines, which the latter influence by their creative presence.

The paper discusses the concept of rule and its role in understanding and defining social facts. On the background of the main objections against Winch’s conception of rule as the necessary and sufficient means for identifying a social phenomenon (M. Hollis, J. Bohmann, M. Gilbert) it questions the analogy between the linguistic activity, the Wittgensteinian conception of meaning and conceiving of agency as a meaningful social activity.

Since the early 90´s in the sociology of medicine and even in medical anthropology we have observed a growing number of publications dealing with the complementary alternative medicine (CAM). The article´s first and second sections are reviewing the terminology related to the selected field of research and analysis the acceptance of CAM. The analysis of sociological surveys related to CAM in Slovakia is presented in the next part of article. The authors are using regression analysis to describe main supporting factors which are explaining support for CAM. Moreover, the authors focus on the role of homeopathy in contemporary Slovakian society and analyse legitimizing efforts of this alternative medical system. On the selected cases, the article shows how the homeopathy in Slovakia is dealing with biomedical monopoly on medical care and limited access to economic and social resources. Finally, the article points out that more research will need to be done that we can deeply understand all relevant aspects of CAM in Slovakia.

The paper is a contribution to the current debates on the value neutrality of the social sciences. The true meaning of claiming the value neutrality of the latter is not to be found in rejecting their value dependence, but rather: 1/ in clearly differentiating between truth, as the relationship of the contents of our statements to objective reality, and value as the relationship of objective reality to our needs and interests; 2/ in differentiating between value and valuation; 3/ in differentiating between factual statements about values, to which the standards of truthfulness apply, and value statements, to which the standard of value appropriateness apply; 4/ in differentiating between cognitive (scientific) and non-cognitive (non-scientific) values; 5/ in clearly differentiating between positive values, which help the science in its approaching the objective truth and new achievements, and negative values, which are obstructive to this process; 6/ in uniting the objectivity of science with progressive social movements.

The aim of this paper is to show that Karl Marx’s critique of political economy can be interpreted as a critique of what philosophers have termed “category-mistakes”. Therefore, the author turns first to the origins of this term in Gilbert Ryle’s “Categories”, to further developments in “Philosophical Arguments” and in P. F. Strawson, as well as to W. H. Walsh’s approach to categories, to establish a workable meaning of the term “category-mistake”. In the second part, he discusses briefly some of the previous uses of this term in exegeses of Marx. Based on Marx’s writings and D. Sayer’s work on Marx’s methodology, the author explicate the meaning of Marx’s term “economic category”. Finally, he arrive at an interpretation of Marx’s critique of economic theories as an analysis concerned with the improper use of theoretical concepts. By way of conclusion, the author offers some general remarks on one important aspect of critique in Marx and in social science in general.

The article deals with cognitive strategies in social cognition considering its two radical patterns, i.e. naturalism and interpretivism. The author’s view is that it is necessary to differentiate between so called “interpretive philosophy” (G. Abel) and interpretivism as a methodological program in social sciences. A special attention is paid to those ways of naturalization of social knowledge applying the modernized evolutionary Darwinian perspective. Especially the so called “epidemiological approach” of D. Sperber who promotes ontological reductionism which does not need to be necessarily accompanied by the theoretical one is analysed.

The paper examines the nature of the social fact in social knowledge on the background of the differences between sciences and social sciences. The applied approach is historical (E. Durkheim, M. Weber, M. Mauss, J. Searle), as well as one based on differentiation between Humean conception of fact and the conceptions, in which facts are seen as determining the truth values of our propositions. Intentionality and the structure of social facts in terms of Searle's construction of the social are underlined as well as the weakness of his conception. In conclusion it is asserted that the construction of facts in social sciences is impossible without psychological vocabulary and concepts, which contents are conceived - contrary to Searle's internalism - in terms of externalism.
