David Bloor, one of the authors of the strong programme for the sociology of science, evoked Florian Znaniecki, together with Emile Durkheim and Karl Mannheim as one of pioneers of the new sociology of science. However, the approach of representatives of SSK (sociology of scientific knowledge) to Znaniecki's oeuvre is somehow ambiguous. The authors of the strong programme do not analyse his works, satisfying themselves with its purely declarative approval. The authoress goal in this article is to point out that if they did study Znaniecki's work carefully, they would probably notice some clear contradictions between their programme and Znaniecki's ideas; they could also trace several ideas deserving to be developed. Firstly, they should have noticed Znaniecki's disapproval of attempts at creating sociology of science/knowledge that would explain the content of scientific beliefs. Secondly, they could have realised the existence of many important similarities between Znaniecki's theory of cultural systems and K.R Popper's idea of the Third World, as Popper's work was their main negative point of reference. Thirdly, they could have analysed Znaniecki's idea of humanistic coefficient in search for inspirations.

It is argued that a renewed reception of the works of the Polish and American scholar should be furthered by the cultural turn in sociology. If the new cultural sociology is to get firm grounds it should go beyond the reaction against structural-functional normativism in search of classic studies of cultural dynamics as those of Florian Znaniecki. The authoress examines the reasons for blurring the influence of Znaniecki on 20th century sociologists, including Talcott Parsons and Alfred Schütz, and presents an overall review of his contribution to cultural sociology.

The goal of the paper is discussion of sociology of art situation among the sciences dealing with problems of culture. It is made in context of Florian Znaniecki's works, particularly his idea of the sciences on culture. In the first part of the paper, the specific character of sociological perspective towards art is noted. Then, appealing to Znaniecki's ideas of the specific character of social sciences and of sciences on culture, the place and tasks of the sociology of art are described. In the last part of the paper, three ways of dealing with relationships between sociology of art and the sciences on culture are presented, depending on understanding of the science on culture. In traditional, disciplinary division of the sciences, sociology of art is an auxiliary discipline. In an account recalling divisions into systems of cultural values, sociology of art becomes a science on culture. In an account based on a typology of cultural phenomena and processes, sociology of art is a science on culture as well, but disciplinary divisions cease to play any important role.

Before the WW I, Florian Znaniecki wanted to be first of all philosopher. Summary of these quests is a book 'Cultural Reality', published in Chicago in 1919, that presents principles of the so-called culturalism. The realm of values and the realm of culture are main subjects of human experience. They become autonomic, i.e. cannot be traced back neither to psychological groundings nor to sociological ones. Znaniecki thought that his system of cultural relativism perfectly described contemporary reality.

The subject of the paper is an analysis of a programme of sociology of scientific knowledge, initiated by Florian Znaniecki in his book 'The Social Role of the Man of Knowledge' (1940) and his other works in science of science. Author points out to a series of significant affinities between Znaniecki's sociological theses and the claims of the philosophy of science put forward by Karl Popper. He argues that, despite the fact that Popper, an epistemologist, stressed that 'the course of human history is to a large extent dependent upon the growth of human knowledge', while Znaniecki's approach may be summarised by saying that 'the growth of human knowledge is to a large extent dependent upon the course of human history', both of these perspectives complement each other and provide a fuller understanding of human knowledge. Through a comparison of Znaniecki's view of science with Jacob Bronowski's conception of scientific knowledge, the author also points out some inconsistencies in Znaniecki's understanding of science, arguing that his sociology of knowledge did not free itself from a philosophical dimension, as Znaniecki thought it had done, and remains only a provisional construction. For, despite his efforts, his conception has stumbled upon significant limitations of the sociological method in explanation of the growth of knowledge, which Znaniecki attempted to overcome by encroaching upon the areas of epistemology, logics, and psychology of knowledge.

Due to the crisis of natural and mathematical science as well as positivistic philosophy the second half of the nineteenth century saw an increasing search for differences between natural and humanistic cognition. The problems such as what is important, what cultural substances and values shape individual and social consciousness, as well as what is the world of culture as a objective reality also require philosophical explanation. In the face of contemporary culture philosophy basically aims at answering the questions: can cultural transformations be measured by ethical criteria, what can we say about a human being as a subject of culture - creative activities, are there any tests, stating what is culture value and the direction in which cultural transformations should proceed. There exist many variations of culture philosophy just as there are many trends of philosophy itself and many culture labels of varied meaning. The article presents an outlook on culture rising from the tradition of humanistic philosophy by F. Znaniecki and from the spirit of phenomenology. Both these trends understand philosophy as a knowledge of universally significant values.

Sociology underwent major changes between both World Wars. Empirical sociology began to dominate and field work conducted according to the methodology of the Chicago School was developing. Similar changes also took place in Polish sociology where developments were influenced by Florian Znaniecki's sociological school in Poznan. This was also a period of intensive development in ethnological research, due to Bronislaw Malinowski's seminar in the London School of Economics which was attended by many Polish ethnologists and sociologists. The young generation of social scientists soon dominated sociological research. Among the most important of them were sociologist Jozef Chalasinski, a student of Znaniecki, and ethnologist Jozef Obrebski, a disciple of Malinowski. New developments in field research allowed these two to meet and to cooperate in the field of empirical sociology.

The new programme of cultural sociology (as distinguished from sociology of culture) on the one hand, and cultural studies on the other, constitute a point of reference for an analysis of contemporary relevance of Florian Znaniecki's culturalism and his theory of cultural systems. Znaniecki's rejection of the terms of 'society' and 'culture' in general was associated with the transition to studies of the dynamics of cultural systems. The article shows the fundamental difference in the aims realized by praxis-oriented cultural studies, as well as studies of radical changes in culture (the cultural turn), in regard to the programme of cultural sciences. The links between modern cultural sociology, including strong programme of cultural sociology, and Znaniecki's culturalism are emphasized. This culturalism radically differs both from anthropological culturalism and from political culturalism, which leads to a policy of multiculturalism. One of important principles, common for modern cultural sociology and Znaniecki's culturalism, is the principle of autonomy of culture in regard to social systems. Arguments in favour of further development of the philosophy of culturalism and cultural theory in the sense proposed by Znaniecki are presented.

Florian Znaniecki's life and work accompanied major social changes caused by industrial society formation. The goal of the paper is analysis of Znaniecki's views on cultural processes, with regard to social fragmentation and decomposition. Problems of fragmentation are seen in Znaniecki's idea of human sciences, but not in his analyses of social order change, that he viewed as a new order appearing from chaotic disorder. Collapse of social order is effect of destructive powers, social evil. New order stems from input of outstanding personalities who initiate processes of social order creation that provoke reactions from other people; this process Znaniecki calls participation in culture. Constant elements of social life are customs. Industrial order promoted new work technique, that weakened workers' motivation and increased feeling of deprivation. Industrial society acted as a means of workers' discipline and kind of military regime. It was a forecast of world conflicts. Going in path with Znaniecki's analyses, the author discusses case of contemporary journalism and its fossilization.
