Abstract

In the paper, I present the views of Alina Motycka, a Polish philosopher of science who died in 2018. I place Motycka’s scholar activity in a historical context, relative to two traditions of the philosophy of science—its historical version signed by Thomas Kuhn, and the tradition of logical reconstruction of science which in the second half of the twentieth century was revived by the thought of Karl Popper. I believe that this historical situation forms the context in which Motycka shaped her view of the philosophy of science and, because of such a particular context, she has participated in it with her own problematizations. So, what constitutes the originality of her way? Two issues come to the fore here. The first is the reconstruction of the fundamental problem of the philosophy of science, which, according to Motycka, is the question of confronting two scientific theories, of which the earlier (T1) is replaced by a later and competitive one (T2). Motycka shows the inability of the epistemology of the second half of the 20th century to adequately capture this relationship. The reason for this is the lack of intellectual means to problematize the situation T1–T2. The second area of the author's interest is the issue of creativity in science. She was inspired by the theories of Carl G. Jung. In this context, it is of interest to use the philosophy of science of terms such as archetype and myth.

Abstract

Edmund Husserl stwierdził: „F i l o z o f i a j a k o n a u k a, jako poważna, ścisła, a nawet apodyktycznie ścisła nauka – t e n s e n j u ż s i ę s k o ń c z y ł”. Potrzebę przeformułowania problemu uprawomocnienia nauk dostrzeżono wyraźnie w drugiej połowie XX wieku. Filozofia hermeneutyczna Hansa Georga Gadamera i archeologia wiedzy Michela Foucaulta to być może najambitniejsze rezultaty tych przeformułowań. Na czym polega podobieństwo miedzy Gadamerem a Foucaultem w sposobie widzenia tych kwestii? Jaki wspólny problem skrywa? Artykuł podejmuje obydwa zagadnienia.
