In what way does a book exist? What is its ontic status? Does the function constitute its essence, as some people believe? In that case, is the forgotten and unread book still a book? Maybe it lives a life that resembles its author’s life, as the supporters of anthropomorphisation of books claim? To what extend the text of a book is self-sufficient as far as the meaning is concerned and how far is it determined by the reader? Has the changes in the form affected the changes of the essence of a book? And on what grounds is the still prevalent opinion about the books’ value based? The article is devoted to the abovementioned issues and addresses the question of the essence of a book

Governance is a popular theoretical approach in the social sciences. However, it in-volves a number of definitional and theoretical problems. The issue of the ambiguity of the concept and the numerous attempts to recognize the complexity of reality in its framework is subject to criticism. A categorization of numerous definitions of govern-ance is proposed. The weaknesses of the governance approach as a theoretical framework in the social sciences are indicated: the inability to clearly indicate a causal entity in decision-making networks, wrongful diminution of the role of state agencies, its strong normative dimension. In the conclusions it is stated that governance is an attempt, albeit not very successful, but one and only at a holistic description of the hyperpluralist envi-ronment of public actors. The weakness of governance approach can be overcome by subjecting the phenomena to micro- or meso-level analysis.

Of the variety of language problems of one of the most important is the problem of meaning. On the question, what is the value, you can immediately give an approximate answer, saying that the value it's what the sign says. Such a definition of values is acceptable, provided that we know what the sign, ie definition of value requires a definition of the linguistic sign. Science deals with the study of the value semantics, it is closely related to the study of properties of objects to perform the function of signs, the creation of the general theory of signs in all their manifestations, that is the task of science of semiotics, which is a synthesis of philosophical, linguistic and cultural ideas. The relevance of the study of semiotic concepts due to the special status of the language in the context of the humanities. Semantics and semiotics have a relatively young age in the status of a particular area of scientific knowledge. Its birth can be dated to the beginning of the last century, when they saw the light of the work of Charles Peirce, Charles Morris and F. de Saussure. Along with the increasing interest in the language increases the need for systematization of methodological approaches and understanding of the mosaic view of language, which is difficult to reconstruction and description. Hardly having registered as a scientific discipline, semiotics quickly disintegrated into many private semiotician, where its philosophical content pushed aside.

The psychology of music has a long tradition and continues to develop both in Poland and abroad. The current issue of Roczniki Psychologiczne [Annals of Psychology] is devoted to topics related to the scientific study of music, addressed by Polish scholars from different research units. In the current introductory article we aim to describe the context in which the psychological study of music develops. Assuming that the psychology of music is a science dealing relationships between music and human listeners, performers, or composers, we explain the meaning of that notion, presenting the characteristics of such relations. We also describe the beginnings and development of the psychology of music in Poland and abroad, introducing the main goals of this multidisciplinary and integrative science. Finally, we present the contents of the current issue of Roczniki Psychologiczne [Annals of Psychology].

Researchers striving at establishing the academic status of a science need, inter alia, to delin-eate the boundaries of their area of interest, point to its object(s) of research, outline the methodology and determine its language. This process equally applies to (meta)lexicography and (meta)terminogra-phy, which are yet to prove their scientific standing. This paper attempts to pinpoint the methodological features of metaterminography and suggest a framework for a systematic study of terminographic works. The point of departure for the detailed discussions undertaken in this article are the general principles of the methodology of sciences. The work also points to the fundamental methods used in metalexicography and metaterminography and focuses on the methodological description of one of the methods used in systematic dictionary research, i.e. the terminographic analysis.

Rethinking the concept of ‘Housing regime’

Housing regime’ is a term that is used relatively often in (macrosocial) research comparing housing policies and systems. However, there is no generally accepted definition of this term. In this paper I shall first scrutinise previous uses of the concept, starting with a discussion of the most famous regime concept – the welfare regime. The discussion paves the way for a redefinition of a ‘housing regime’: the set of fundamental principles according to which housing provision operates in some defined area (municipality, region, state) at a particular point in time. Such principles are thought to be embodied in the institutional arrangements that relate to housing provision, in the political interventions that address housing issues, and as in the discourses through which housing issues are customarily understood. This definition is compatible with the path-dependence approach that has been adopted here and with the aspects of reality that researchers want to capture using the ‘regime’ concept.

The paper discusses some internationalization theories of the firm. The authors look for key factors behind internationalization processes, with a special emphasis on experience and knowledge as the determinants of the internationalization strategy of firms. The review begins with a presentation of the Uppsala model and the approaches to internationalization developed by Cavusgil; Bilkley and Tesar; Cieślik; and Korth. Then the authors highlight concepts perceiving internationalization as a kind of innovation in the strategy of the enterprise as well as the concept of simultaneous internationalization. At the end of the paper, the authors draw the reader’s attention to a network approach toward internationalization. The analysis made in the paper allows the authors to conclude that the key determinants of the firm’s internationalization process come from the competitive potential of the company as well as the firm’s environment. Some theories of the foreign expansion of enterprises focus on internal factors, while others stress external factors. It seems that the best method is an eclectic approach and taking advantage of the complementary character of the theories discussed, the authors say.

The article examines the traditional body of knowledge about enterprise resources and presents contemporary approaches to this issue. The author uses ample theoretical material and describes historic views on enterprise resources as expressed by economists such as Petty, Smith, Ricardo, Say, Marx, Marshall, the Austrian Subjectivists, Schumpeter and Penrose. Their achievements laid the groundwork for contemporary research. The author focuses on the ways in which enterprises build their competitive advantages. He also presents contemporary approaches and resource classification systems, with special attention paid to non-material resource classification, including the resource theory and the intellectual capital theory (pioneering and post-pioneering models). The analysis shows that non-material resources and intellectual capital are increasingly important to enterprises as they seek to gain a competitive advantage. This marks a change from previous approaches to the problem of building a competitive advantage. However, the contemporary method of defining enterprise resources is rooted in the historic development of economic knowledge. It is the legacy of many well-known authors, from classical economists onward. Their achievements were an inspiration for contemporary economists.

The experimental social psychology basically rejects idiographism, though its nomothetism is only sometimes similar to the one that dominates in natural traditions. This is illustrated in the paper on instances of the selected theories. They often differ from their equivalents in the natural sciences because they describe the instruments of human psychological functioning which either are non-universal or appear with various frequency in different cultural and/or historical contexts, fulfill diverse functions there, and even sometimes have a different meanings.

This article briefly presents and characterizes a relatively young (nineteen-nineties) trend in methodology, the theory of science – and philosophy, called “the new experimentalism”. The fundamental problem is determined by the question about the value of the new experimentalism and experimental grounds of scientific knowledge in empirical sciences. In the first part of the article, the previous (old) experimentalism is presented. First of all, the history of the experimental method is outlined and the definitions of experiment, object, phenomenon, and of the carried out and analyzed observation are provided. It is shown why the main proposition of experimentalists – “determining a fact based on sensory experience” is fallacious. The second part describes the way in which the representatives of the new experimentalism try to identify and characterize those factors of an experiment that guarantee the objectivity of its result; demonstrate that results are not only determined by psychological, historical, sociological or economic factors but also that they exist in nature as real objects and events. A correct and reliable analysis of the experiment and its results may – according to the new experimentalists – contribute to this conclusion. Therefore, the important role and value of the experimental foundation of social activity in general, and in particular, for the natural sciences, is rightly noted.

One of the most visible features of contemporary political science, seen also in other social sciences are theoretical problems. They are nothing in this group of scietific disciplines. But new is their form. In second half of 20th century clasical scientific orientations as functionalism, structuralism, institutionalism, behaviouralism or system theory became the subject of critique of many social scientists. But in last decade of that century appeared renewed interest in those orientations of social thought. This article contains an analysis of Talcott Parsons view on social theory. The American sociologist during almost fifty years of scientific activity tried to build that, what he called general social theory. His concept of theory is very specific. Parsons understood it as a collection of logically interdependent generalized concepts of empirical sense. That means that theory is a conceptual outline. The bases of theory are analitycally understood facts, which have sense only in the frames of reference including: goals, means, resources, conditions, social norms, time and situation. Theory is for him a hierarchical category. It includes scientific results of different levels of generality. On the most general level he situated general theory. On next we have motivation theory. On third are comparative analyses of social structure. Fourth consists of particular theories. On the last level of theoretical systematization are relations between theory an research procedures.

The paper explores the views of historians presented during the session of the methodological section of the 7. General Congress of Polish Historians held in 1948 in Wrocław. The session was attended by such scholars as Stanisław Śreniowski, Bogusław Leśnodorski, Roman Lutman, Marian Henryk Serejski, Ewa Maleczyńska, Wanda Moszczeńska and Adam Stebelski. The researchers’ opinions are shown against the background of a methodological controversy among Kazimierz Tymieniecki, Jan Rutkowski and Witold Kula, expressed vividly in the papers they delivered during the session of the historical section of the Congress. Tymieniecki emphasised the inductive and empirical nature of historiographical research, while Rutkowski and Kula shared a deep conviction that empirical material should be analysed in the light of theoretical considerations.

The aim of the article is to show the positive significance of family theories in examining family relations and family functioning and to present the most significant models in the area. Discussing the benefits resulting from using theoretical models in family researches it has been noted that they allow to identify factors essential to understand family relations and family functioning, they provide the supposed causal relationships between variables, they also equip researchers with the common academic language and allow for comparing results of different researches. They are also the basis of working out reliable and accurate research tools which can be used in clinical jobs and counselling. Family theories have been discussed as being grouped according to Skelton and cooperators (2012) into three main categories: family as a system, family stress and resilience and families in time and space.

The article is devoted to the subject of the New Objectivity movement in German art in the mid 1920s, its causes and consequences. The detailed depiction of post-war reality in New Objectivity painting with its social criticism and commitment is presented as the most suitable exemplification of Peter Bürger’s famous theory of the avant-garde. In his account of avant-garde, Bürger paid most attention to the avant-garde criticism of the institution of art in a bourgeois society and to dialectics of autonomy of art. However, he did not give many examples of such understood avant-garde art, mentioning only Dadaism and surrealism. This text tries to find another examples for Bürger’s theory, New Objectivity being a per-fect one. Not only was it very strongly connected with a social, economical and political situation of its times but it also tried to resolve the problem of art’s au-tonomy by praising artistic engagement and commitment to the society. High-lighting this sphere of activity of the artists of the New Objectivity and putting it together with Bürger’s ideas may help to understand better both New Objectivity, little known in Poland, and Theory of the Avant-Garde.

Contemporary humanities are confronted with a search for new forms of legitimization. Processes that enforce such a necessity stem from the technicization of contemporary culture. The methodologies of the humanities, and even their status as a group of academic disciplines, are questionable. The aim of the article is to argue that these external and internal problems in the humanities are interlinked with the state of being after the end of theory. This assumption is grounded on the thesis that the humanities need to find a solution to the impasse which could be described as the questions of what theory means and why society should be concerned about it.

“The evolution of Machiavellianism as a theoretical construct” presents the phenomenon of Machiavellianism as a subject of research, which in its matter undergoes evolution. Through the analysis of the content of research and articles on Machiavellianism, the authors present initial and contemporary approaches to the phenomenon, presenting the evolution and expansion of the phenomenon itself. The authors confirm the hypotheses and at the same time indicate that as a result of evolution, the conclusions made at the beginning of the research on Machiavellianism were wrong in their assumption, because, as confirmed by the presented research, Machiavellianism is a mental dysfunction. The authors note, however, that Machiavellianism itself has moved very far away from its “original” because there are few publications on Machiavellianism as “political doctrine”.

„Ewolucja makiawelizmu jako konstruktu teoretycznego” przedstawia zjawisko makiawelizmu jako przedmiot badań, które w swojej materii podlega ewoluowaniu. Poprzez analizę badań i treści artykułów dot. makiawelizmu autorzy przedstawiają początkowe oraz współczesne podejścia do zjawiska, prezentując kolejne etapy jego modyfikowania. Potwierdzają postawione hipotezy i wskazują, że w wyniku ewoluowania wnioski poczynione na początku badań nad makiawelizmem w swoim założeniu były błędne, ponieważ, co potwierdzają przedstawiane badania, makiawelizm jest psychiczną dysfunkcją. Autorzy zauważają jednak, że sam makiawelizm bardzo mocno odszedł od swojego „pierwowzoru”, ponieważ istnieje niewiele publikacji dot. makiawelizmu jako „doktryny politycznej”.
