Jan Szczepanski's research, devoted mostly to the process of industrialization and changes in the structure of Polish society, provides an analysis of its contemporary history. In his works, like e.g.'Polskie losy' (Polish Ways) there are numerous methodological indications which allow to explain the impact of the past on contemporary Polish issues and which can be used at present, like e.g. a close relation between continuity and change; and the meaning of the evaluating category of social progress. What comes with social progress and the development of postindustrial society is work, widely analyzed in the book 'O indywidualnosci' (On Individuality).

To present selected accomplishments in Polish historiography over the last one thousand years the author based on opinions by European and American historians who assessed the contribution of Polish historiography to the world's heritage.The beginnings of Polish historiography date back to the annalist record of 965 informing of the arrival in Poland of the wife of the first historical ruler of Poland, Mieszko: 'Dobrva ad Mesconem venit' (Dobrawa comes to Mieszko). In the Middle Ages Polish historiography produced many outstanding hagiographies, annals and chronicles. Of these, the work which was best known in Europe and one that was translated into many languages was the 'Chronicon pontificum et imperatorum' of 1277 by Marcin the Pole (Martin of Tropau) - it became a model for many later works on history. Polish historiography of the Renaissance provided a source of knowledge on the countries and peoples of Eastern Europe. Translated and published in the West were works by Marcin Kromer, Andrzej Frycz Modrzewski and those written by the Polish Arians (Polish Brethren). When historical works began to be published in Polish (17th century), they ceased to be accessible to foreign historians and, with a few exceptions, the body of Polish historical writing no longer formed a recognizable part of Europe's universal cultural heritage. Despite many outstanding works published in the Age of Enlightenment or in the 19th century, until the 20th century Polish historians had remained relatively unknown - the only exception concerned historians who published in foreign languages, such as Joachim Lelewel (who made a major contribution to research on historical geography and the ancillary disciplines of history) or Oskar Halecki (who is considered an American historian), and those émigré historians who found themselves outside Poland during World War II. The research of the founder of Polish economic historiography, for instance, Adam Bujak, was well ahead of the ideas presented by the French 'Annales' school, and yet his work was not known, because he published in his mother tongue. Conclusions: In order for Polish historians, many of whom are well respected in world scholarly circles, to regain the high esteem they enjoyed when Latin was the language of the academia, they must publish their innovative works in the so-called congress languages.

The author presents the circumstances of the creation of the Paris Commune and its activity as the municipal Council in the capital city between March, 18 and May, 29, 1971, e.g. time of revolution and the civil war. It was the reaction of the inhabitants for the collapse of France in 1870, an attempt to liberate country from the Prussian occupation and to defend the republican form of government. After researching the political and social background of the Commune, the author makes a conclusion that Polish historiography was wrong estimating it as ‘proletarian authority’ or ‘proletarian dictatorship’. A social program of the Commune was prepared by the leaders who derived from lower middle class and inteligentsia. They conducted the struggle against the government in Versaille in the interest of the working population of Paris. Its ‘majority’ wanted to regard Commune as the French government and “minority” – only municipality. The interest for the history of the Paris Commune in Poland after 1945 was strictly connected with the process of forming of the communist system. Therefore the interpretation of the event corresponded with the ideological explanations of ‘classical’ works with all their simplifications and misrepresentations. Research on participation of Poles in the Paris Commune was concentrated on their personal data (it resulted in a list of 450 names of totally 600-700 persons with information about their social background and later lot) and detailed biographies of Jarosław Dąbrowski and Walery Wróblewski.
