The Author examines the latest book by Wojciech Wrzosek devoted to methodological aspects of historical thinking. Cf. Wojciech Wrzosek, O myśleniu historycznym (On historical thinking), Epigram, Bydgoszcz 2009.

The Author tries to point out the most significant features of Jerzy Topolski’s methodological reflection, which are to be found in his three fundamental syntheses on the field of epistemology of history, and milestones of polish historiography, namely: Methodology of history, Theory of historical knowledge, and How to write and understand history.
