To address this, the journal Nauka Polska and the working group Koło Naukoznawcze served as a platform for sociologists, philosophers, pedagogues, and scientists to discuss the advancement of science and the academic system. Among the topics explored were the generation and stabilization of scientific creativity (Antoni B. Dobrowolski), the development of a socio-psychological \"science of knowledge\" (Florian Znaniecki), and the potential benefits of a \"science of science\" (Maria Ossowska and Stanisław Ossowski). Unlike similar contemporary contributions, many of these ideas have been largely forgotten today. This volume seeks to rectify this by reconstructing the forgotten history of Warsaw-based sociology of knowledge and science, presenting pivotal articles in English translation for the first time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 726g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9783161543159\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":47030201975034,"sku":"9783161543159","price":70.6,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/files\/1736518139976_book.jpg?v=1736596034","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/a-new-organon-science-studies-in-interwar-poland-9783161543159","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
