In the paper, the author discusses some major problems included in the book by Russo. Essential for understanding Russo's conception of revolution in science is the issue of conditions that particular theory has to fulfill to become scientific. He tries to point out and explain controversies that have already appeared with the reception of the book. His interpretation shows that it is possible to develop the theory of science contradictory to Russo's one using only his limitations and criteria. In other words: though his definition of revolution in science claims to be strict, there are still some gaps and inaccuracies left. The author also attempts to show how Russo refuses to admit scientific status of disciplines such as philosophy or sociology and to try to compare this radical view with Baumgartner's and Kuhn's.

Condillac's sensualist epistemology used to be combined with Locke's empiristic accomplishments, following Condillac's opinion himself. The French philosopher, while appreciating this solution, sought to develop it, and in particular he wished to make it more profound. He wanted to formulate special 'metaphysics' of knowledge, the synonym of genetic analyses that were supported to answer the question: how and why is knowledge possible? The author proves that, like in the case of Locke, the point of reference in Condillac's epistemology was Descartes' solution, including his theory of science.

THE SCIENCE RESEARCH OF LITERARY SCIENCE (Vedny vyskum literarnej vedy)

The author of the article expounds the problem of the complex reflection of literary science on the basis of science research. The science research of literary science is a multiperspective, interdisciplinary project that integrates the following planes: the plane of science theory, the plane of sociology of science and the plane of history of science. The science research claims to reflect scientific problems as well as offering respective solution offers on all planes. This theory failed, however, because of the unclear theoretical, methodological and terminological basis for the unification of the three fields. Above all it lacks the will to transcend disciplines in order to advance the project. The author of the article voices his own thoughts on this problem, saying the approach of science research, entailing multiperspectivity, integrativity and interdisciplinarity, is palpable although the science research itself has not gained the status as a discipline.

The paper deals with two mistakes ascribed to the Popper's theory of the verisimilitude. The first is the well known critique of the Popper's qualitative definition of the verisimilitude produced independently by D. Miller and P. Tichy which argues that that definition is false. The second is the claim that due to the Popper's theory of verisimilitude and his theory of corroboration inductive and the justificatory elements enter his theory of science. This accusation was raised e.g. by I. Lakatos and J. Watkins. The paper tries to show that while the first critique is true, the second is false.

The paper offers an examination of the corroboration in Popper’s theory of science where it is used to describe a theory’s being successfully tested. This, however, does not mean that the theory in question has been also justified. Its corroboration means only that it was not falsified in empirical tests as yet. This view results from Popper’s rejecting the possibility of the justification of scientific theories (or the cognition as such) and from its consequence being a specific negative model of scientific rationality.

The paper deals with some of the contemporary theories of science which see the latter as an organized cognitive activity. On the background of the controversy concerning the nature of rationality and relativism the author underlines the contribution of the sociology of scientific knowledge, showing its role in reconceptualization of the dichotomy between internalism and externalism. His argumentation is in favor of the institutional conception of science as a subsystem of society. The problem of the reliability of knowledge is explained in the context of the globalized science: for science to be cognitively successful it is necessary to optimize the institutional mechanisms producing consensus and working as the controlling and corrective mechanisms.

The demarcation of science is discussed in a wider context of differentiating the elements of scientific knowledge from non-scientific or pseudoscientific cognitive fields. The traditional epistéme/doxa approach fails in differentiating the scientific from non-scientific. To resolve the problem of demarcation the arguments of the demarcation relation have to be made explicit. The heuristics of the explication is seen in the concept of the theory of science. It is suggested that the pluralistic character of the contemporary science should not be conceived as a hindrance to solving the problem of demarcation. Further, the specification of the objects of demarcation on both sides of the demarcation relation makes the possibilities as well as limits of demarcation more visible.
