The main thesis of this essay is that practice is superior to a "theoretical vs. practical" distinction. In this sense, every sort of knowledge is essentially "practical"; so-called "theoretical" knowledge is an historically overemphasised borderline example of the practical. Based mostly on Wittgenstein's view, I shall gradually refine an opposition between theoretical and practical knowledge by analysing some related dualisms on an active, processual, communicative and applicative concept of knowledge. Then I will provide some arguments as to why knowledge as a practical matter in this sense should be seen as, both logically and temporally, prior to the distinction.

Towards a Dialogical Sociology

vol. 193

issue 1

Most sociological action theories and typologies were not able to establish interdependencies and sequences between different types of action. They also ignored the existential meaning of the choices the typologies implicitly involved. The imaginative dispositions and the ability to critically examine one’s own presuppositions are shown to constitute action as a future-oriented, self-expressing, and interpersonal phenomenon. Both dimensions may be found in the Socratic dialogical attitude but should not be taken as constituting a normative nor even a desirable type of action. The article identifies several limits of dialogue and its relationships with other types of action defined according to the same criteria.

W pierwszej części tekstu ruch „transhumanistyczny” pokazany jest jako następstwo nierozwiązanych problemów współczesnej kognitywistyki (cognitive science). Część druga jest próbą odpowiedzi na pytanie: Czy współczesne nauki społeczne są w stanie sprostać wyzwaniom, jakie stawia przed nimi rozwój technologii informatycznej i jej rosnący wpływ na jednostki i relacje społeczne. Całość jest przedstawiona z użyciem aparatury pojęciowej teorii czynności wypracowanej przede wszystkim w szkole lwowsko-warszawskiej.
EN
The first part of the paper presents the transhumanistic philosophy as a result of unsolved problems of cognitive science. The second part of the paper considers the issue of whether current social and behavioral sciences are in a position to cope with the challenges, which are placed before them by the development of current electronic technology. The theory of intentionality (Franz Brentano, John Searle) together with the theory of human actions and products (Kazimierz Twardowski – Lvov-Warsaw School) provide the conceptual framework of the undertaken analysis.
