Sociological Struggles for Shattered Mirror of Knowledge [transl. by Monika Boruta-Żywiczyńska]

Abstract

Author defends his stance, which assumes separating research fields of sociology of knowledge and history of sociology. He gives an example of the history of evolutionary ideas which recognized as non-canonical contributed to that sociology abandoned some important research areas. In what follows, he postulates further objectivization of knowledge about the history of sociology and rejects the universalist arguments used in the sociology of scientific knowledge.
