Pozytywiści warszawscy wobec tradycji. Stan badań, postulaty badawcze
Streszczenie
In scientific literature Warsaw positivism as an ideological trend is opposed to Romanticism
and is perceived as the programme of practical activity breaking with the past and calling for
active work on the social and economic field. Warsaw positivists’ attitude towards tradition
was reflected in literature on that subject which distinguished two opposing attitudes. On one
hand there was a radical attitude directed against tradition and negating it in the name of progress. On the other hand there was a moderate attitude appreciating the importance of
tradition and the values it carried waith itself. It is also stressed that arguments over tradition
contented on the columns of positivist press had strictly pragmatic character and were devoided
of philosophical and historiosophical thought. In my opinion this attitude calls for transformation
as it is too superficial and leads to advanced generalizations.
