These catastrophes are presented as a normal element in science and important problem of proper attitude of scientific staff is described. A scientific catastrophe is compared to scientific revolution. The problem of what can and what cannot be foreseen is addressed.

The paper deals with the moral problem of using proper names by scholars and journalists. The author gives several examples of 'mistaken language' in the two fields and proposes to apply to it the Confucian concept of 'cheng-ming' (propering of names). This concept reveals that the main problem is fallacious understanding, naming, and treatment of agents who play their social roles in 'everyday life theaters'. The author considers some consequences of this idea for sciences, especially for the humanities in its widest sense and for the science of science (in Stanislaw Ossowski's terminology). He discusses also its consequences for journalism, especially focusing on the way journalists should write theirs texts. In the conclusion the author proposes the restoration of the languages of the fields discussed.

The author states that (a) political engineering is the most important part of social engineering; (b) the cognitive fundaments of social engineering are: praxiology, history, and anthropology. The rules of political engineering are also addressed: (a) those that are used in various space-temporal conditions of human mutual relations; (b) those that are applied in certain periods; (c) those that appear in some political games with use of social engineering. It is also stated that true 'homo politicus' is an political engineer. To the end the importance of the 'Methodological note' (W.I. Thomas and F. Znaniecki) included in the book 'Chlop polski w Europie i Ameryce' is addressed.

Revolutionary and counter-revolutionary world-views are presented as 'militant and competing outlooks' - zero-sum game players' world-views in the war over a character of communal life system. These are antithetical views. Their subjects are social forces acting in their antagonistic interests and aspirations. The world-views are presented as two, fundamentally different models of understanding sociotechnics as an overall therapy of human life. A therapy through social engineering model deriving from the revolutionary world-view could be named a model under the banner of 'utopia' (the therapy is a well thought-out alternative order) and a therapy through social engineering model deriving from counter-revolutionary world-view could be named a model under the banner of 'ideology' (the therapy consists in applying a tried-and-tested pattern form the past, which enables to preserve identity and to combine change with continuity).

The article presents radical and consistent critique of the Polish political elite by Stanislaw Wyspianski - the examples are his eight dramas, interpreted as black political comedies. Stanislaw Wyspianski accuses the elite of lack of factual knowledge and efforts to fulfil Polish national interests and aspirations. He brings as well an accusation of lack of socio-political imagination, ingenuity and resourcefulness in social engineering, lack of the ability to think in terms of strategy and lack of boldness in thinking, which is a duty of public life leaders.

Scientific world perspective as a matrix micro-world, which identity lasts in dialectics of continuity and change in ontological, epistemological, praxiological and axiological ideas concerning understanding and performing of scientific knowledge. 3. Scientific social practice as a forum of intentional cooperation of researchers, who create cognitive values. 4. Permanent elements of scientific activity, different in various places, but phenomenally responsible for identity of science. 5. Feature of internal history of science as a factor of making scientific knowledge a realm of culture fragmentation and feature of external history of science as a factor of making scientific knowledge a realm integrated with system of multiplicity of social practices. 6. Eternal war between two different styles of research (constructive, systemic thinking vs. investigating, problematic thinking) forming dialectics, insurmountable by changes leading to improvement. 7. Important facts, proving changes in scientific social practice, but at the same time ascertaining its lasting in old-established identity.

The article deals with statements that: (1) It is possible and appropriate to practice science that can be called 'history-sociology' justified by: a) constituting cognitive problems -common for both historians and sociologists; b) methods integrating cognitive acts of historians and sociologists; c) convergent scientific lexicons used by both historians and sociologists and becoming consolidated in the course of their work; (2) It is reasonable to read works of historians as sociological works and to read works of sociologists as historical works; (3) The fact that on the map of the social sciences exist (exclusively) various 'histories-sociologies' should be considered as one of the 'peculiarity of the social sciences'.
