The aim of this article is to analyze selected legal and economic aspects of the activities of a municipal administrator (wójt) in Poland. Based on the comparative method as well as on the latest expert studies in the field of law, administration, and economics, the author compares the changes that have taken place in the systemic status and in the activities of wójts. The most important legal acts regarding their powers have been examined. The influence of wójt on shaping the municipality’s budget and managing its assets have been analyzed. The effectiveness of management in the face of the diversity of Polish municipalities has also been compared. Empirical examples of effective public management by wójts have been used. The results of the local government elections in 2018 have also been analyzed as a test of the managerial competence of the wójts under consideration.

This article discusses the significance of Hans-Georg Gadamer’s philosophical hermeneutics for political science and political theory. As a critical observer of contemporary culture, dominated, as it is, by scientific, bureaucratic, and technological conceptions of the public sphere, Gadamer highlights the rootedness of human interaction and praxis in dialogical exchange. Consequently, according to him, the genuine dimension of politics should be conceived of from the perspective of its participants and not from the point of view of a neutral observer. Building on this methodological assumption, the article reconstructs, first, the analysis of practical knowledge as presented in the early writings of Gadamer. A second step leads to the hermeneutical conception of practical knowledge, which Gadamer articulated through a reinterpretation of Aristotle’s ‘phronesis’. Most centrally, it discusses the consequences of this idea of practical knowledge for an adequate account of understanding. A third section focuses on the late Gadamer’s reflection on political deliberation as an essentially dialogical activity that opens the possibility to elude technological and bureaucratic manipulation.
