Philosopher Golosovker demonstrated, that the structure of Dostoevsky's novel 'Brothers Karamasovs' is the embodiment of Kant's antinomies. Just the same is correct as to Pushkin's little tragedies. The sense of dialogically interacting opposites is the depth of the problem, not answer. Pushkin's drama forces the reader to think, its immortality is similar to immortality of eternal problems of philosophy.

In the paper interdependences between the notions of hypothesis, justification and deviance are considered with reference to componential semantics based on two valued logic. The article comprises two parts. In the first part the notion of deviance and its relation to conventions of the natural language is discussed. Moreover, two types of semantic deviance namely contradiction and tautology are described. A deviance in utterances referring to extralinguistic objects and in metalanguage utterances is distinguished. The second part of the paper contains the analysis of the chosen semantic features of several Polish lexical units namely 'woda', 'widocznie', 'az', 'coraz' and 'coraz to'. Hypotheses concerning meanings of the units under consideration are justified using the method of inquiring to contradiction (tests of contradiction). In the paper usefulness of deviance in semantic research is confirmed.

This article focuses on the problems and contradictions of sociological theories of action. It investigates critically the development of the theory of action after the Parsonian synthesis, drawing attention to the limitations of articulating the concept of action systematically within a presuppositional framework of analytical theory. Having exposed Parsons general theory of action and some interpretations and criticisms, the paper addresses the so-called 'return of grand theory', spearheaded in the early 1980s by authors such as Alexander, Habermas, Giddens and Luhmann. The article analyses the conceptual innovations introduced by their theories according to Parsons own definition of theoretical work, which - as he said - consists in reconstruction and transformation of categories in the moments of their failure. While it is argued that sociological theory cannot do away with general concepts, it is also argued that these need not have the form of a synthetic theory of action of the kind outlined by Parsons and the Post-Parsonians.
