The key aim of the paper is to present a scientific review of Dorota Klus-Stańska’s book, Paradygmaty dydaktyki. Myśleć teorią o praktyce. The conducted analysis was subjected to unravelling these substantive and structural aspects of the textbook which reinvigorate the understanding of didactics as a scientific discipline, violate the matrices-based typologies and knock the reader out of automatisms. Conclusions from the analysis provided substantiation for proposing a classification of didactics reaching beyond their paradigmatic assignment, yet not discordant with it. Taking advantage of the relationship of particular types of didactics with their (a) paradigmatic assignment and (b) educational practice, the author distinguished stable, borderline and in statu nascendi didactics, posing at the end a question as to them being open to interparadigmatic translation.
