The author makes an attempt to discuss the current role of linguistics among other disciplines of Slavonic studies (Slavistics), i.e. literature and cultural studies. The second part of the question in the title refers to the place of Slavonic linguistic studies within contemporary Polish linguistics. On the basis of preliminary observations and queries one may propose several hypotheses: 1) Slavonic linguistics in Poland differs significantly from the research on Polish language, both with regard to methodology and topics; 1.a) Inside Slavonic linguistics there is another division, between Russian and non-Russian Slavistics; 2) Slavonic and Polish Linguistics are also divided in the frames of Polish universities and Academy of Sciences; c) The main scientific forums, such as journals and conferences, reflect the divisions mentioned above, what results in relatively isolated communities in various fields of Slavonic linguistics, i.e. research on Polish, Russian and other Slavonic languages. To justify and illustrate the hypotheses in question, the author analyses the organizational structures of selected scientific centres, the contents of the most distinguished linguistic journals in Poland, as well as themes of conferences and the International Congress of Slavists.
Philosophical interests of Joseph Życiński (1948-2011) in the domain of the philosophy of science were focused on the debate concerning the nature of science and philosophy of science that followed the Einstein-Planck revolution in science. The unexpected discovery of the philosophical, extra-scientific presuppositions in science, as well as of the extra-rational factors determining the way these presuppositions are accepted in science were to be explained within the meta-scientific framework. It is the aim of this paper to present ˙ Życiński’s diagnosis of this post-revolutionary situation in the philosophy of science as well as his critique of the metascientific answers to this challenge. The reasons will be given why all those answers are put under two dichotomous rubrics of internalism and externalism. It will be also explained how Życiński intends to supersede this false in his opinion opposition with a new concept of the doxatic rationality. However, the details of the metascientific proposal of Życiński will be given only in the subsequent paper. In order to perform the aim of the paper the metatheoretic tools set out by Popper (1979) will be used.
In the article I analyze the new phenomenom of slottings, which is an undersirable result of the reform of the system of science and higher education. I also point to the positive effects of systematic changes in Polish science.
