Metodologia badań społecznych w ujęciu Petrażyckiego

Abstract

This paper presents the main ideas of Leon Petrażycki’s methodology of social sciences. The main focus concerns Petrażycki’s idea of adequate theory. The author tries to show that contemporary formal methodology of empirical sciences illuminates Petrażycki’s concept of adequate theory. In particular, the relation between adequacy and truth can be illuminated by using metalogical concepts.
