The main objective of this paper is to present a reinterpretation of Karl Popper’s position on the methodological and sociopolitical views of Karl Marx. In spite of the weaknesses of the Popper’s critique of the achievements of Marx, special attention will be focused on the explanation of contradictions within the epistemological position of the former. This will be of great importance in the context of the analysis of Marx’s historicism, and will also help undermine the coherence view of the founder of falsifi cationism. Additionally, this newly developed perspective will serve as a starting point for evaluation of Marx’s intellectual output, as well as conceptions that refer to him.
This article is an attempt to analyze of the standpoint's one of the most influential representative of Austrian Economics School against historicism and empiricism. This article shows that while Ludwig von Mises shared a standpoint of founder Austrian Economic School Carl Menger's against historicism, in the area of empirical methods in the social science differences between two key figures of Austrian School existed, and Mises rejected the empirical methods of Menger. The author of this article used an inter-pretative method of the social science and focused on the text's analysis. The article will conclude that in the opinion of Mises, historicism is the method of self-contradiction and empirical methods in the social science are imperfect and unreliable in the sphere of prediction future event.
This paper aims at defining the features of literature of reminiscence, especially of works related to the Second World War. The analysis is based on two memoirs: „Mój wrzesień 1939” [„My September 1939”] by Marian Jędo and „Inną drogą” [„Another way”] by Wiesław Widloch. The texts shows how the authors share their experiences/stories with recipients. As noted by Hayden White, it is impossible to get an objective image of past events, but one can analyze the way these events were experienced and described. As a consequence, the paper starts with theoretical considerations about the functioning of both historical narration and narration of reminiscence in contemporary historical and Literature theses, and also among the recipients of historical books. In fact it is worth mentioning the connection between the research on literature of reminiscence and microhistory studies. In both cases the key issue is to focus on the life of a selected person and to see the world from his or her perspective. Among the research methods used in the present work one can find not only methods defined in the literature dedicated to memoirs analysis but also methods created by historians representing historicism.
Gernot Böhme’s philosophical anthropology combines a historistic-descriptive and a normative approach (“historical models of man,” the axiological “sovereign man” project).The author describes both types of philosophical narrative in detail, together with the categorial and argumentative inconsistencies which appear on their crossing point. His thesis is that the German philosopher attempts to neutralize these aporias by reference to the category of “relief” (Entlastung) and an argumentative strategy close to the position of thinkers like Jürgen Habermas, who made use of the “relief” category in his critical bioethical analyses.
The article revealed the level of correlation between the poetics of the novel Mykhailo Charnyshenko, or Little Russia Eighty Years Ago by Panteleimon Kulish and historical novels Waverley; or, ‘Tis Sixty Years Since, Rob Roy by Sir Walter Scott. Typological and intertextual similarities in the texts, peculiarities of the authors’ historisophy, and psychoanalytic foundation of works are analyzed in the article. The article argues that common for novels by P. Kulish and W. Scott is the psychological basis. The severity as a characterological trait in the images of parents in the works is interpreted as an artistic copy of writers’ memories of their parents. The disobedience motive in the novels is archetypal and also reflects the authors’ feelings of irreconcilable conflict with parents. Mykhailo Charnyshenko, or Little Russia Eighty Years Ago by P. Kulish is a conditional historical novel with the individual author’s interpretation of the history of Ukraine in the 2nd half of the XVIIIth century. As W. Scott, P. Kulish creates his own historical myth, presenting the admiration of antiquity and frank sympathy to old customs. W. Scott synthesizes the history of the country witnessing their faith in the need for union of the Kingdom of Great Britain, whose power in the cultural and political union of Scotland and England. P. Kulish also stresses the inevitability of Cossack liberties’ loss and loyal need to adapt to new conditions and conventions in the Russian empire.

Wiele powojennych przed- i posoborowych kościołów - wzorcowych i kanonicznych - weszło do annałów historii polskiej architektury. Jednak pytania o kondycję współczesnej architektury sakralnej w Polsce wciąż pozostają bez odpowiedzi. Posoborowe otwarcie się Kościoła na świat, spowodowało upowszechnienie naśladownictwa, bezguścia, kiczu i tandety, a nawet żartu architektonicznego. Być może przyszedł czas na minimalizm, prostotę i skromność - panaceum na utarty i spowszedniały już zestaw form eklektyczno-historycznych? Niniejszy tekst próbuje odpowiedzieć na pytanie, czy dominującą kategorią dzisiejszej sztuki sakralnej jest oryginalność - ponad wartościami estetycznymi czy funkcjonalnością.

Numerous model and canonical postwar churches from before and after the Second Vatican Council entered in the annals of the history of Polish architecture. However, questions about the condition of contemporary sacral architecture in Poland are still left unanswered. Opening the Church to the world after the Council disseminated imitation, tastelessness, kitsch, trash and even architectural jokes. Perhaps the time has come for minimalism, simplicity and modesty - a panacea to a widespread and commonplace collection of eclectic historical forms. This text attempts to answer the question if the prevailing category of today's sacral art is originality - above aesthetic values or functionality.
Biographical film is a genre that acquired specific importance within the Czech film industry at the beginning of 1950s. It combined local particularity of Czech film culture, spontaneous and politically controlled inclination towards the revivalist tradition, authoritarianism of Zdeněk Nejedlý, the cultural ideologist, as much as Soviet cultural influence. The article focuses on a specific example of such type of film production, a film called Z mého života (From my life, Václav Krška, 1955) about Bedřich Smetana, a significant Czech composer of the 19th century. The initial research aim is to cover various factors that influenced the final style of the film. The text examines its connections to outer social and historical discourse, and proceeds from a summary of development in contemporary biographical film production, to changes within the cult of Bedřich Smetana during the first half of the 20th century, to the ideological nature of the given film. The article studies the way these long-term and current factors influenced the style and narrative of the film. Through one of the direct participants — Jiří Mařánek as the author of subject matter and script — it also reconstructs rival interests of power of both generational, professional and political character. This focus mediates partial but authentic insight into the nature and processes within Czech culture in its post-February stage. The research is based primarily on archive documents of film production, Jiří Mařánekʼs personal resources and media reception of the period.
