Możliwości i ograniczenia podejścia interdyscyplinarnego w politologicznych badaniach myśli politycznej i refleksji teoretyczno-politycznej

The text discusses the following issues: for and against interdisciplinary approach in sciences about politics, the way of presenting political thought and its peculiarities, the possibilities and scope of interdisciplinary explantation of political thought, political thought research and possibilities of political theories cognition, political thought as a possibility of creating formulas in the field of theory of politics. While reconstructing and explaining the essence of political thought one can “differ beautifully” when both, the requirements of supporters of the approach in the style of political science, and those who prefer interdisciplinary approach are taken into consideration. It appears that narrowing the overview and limiting the possibilities of explanation of typicality and peculiarity of political thought limits its political science cognitive possibilities. Therefore, underestimating inspirations from other scientific disciplines would mean resignation from reception of many creative research inspirations which allow interdisciplinary explanation of political thought with the consideration for genetic, behavioral, diachronic and holistic, axiological and comparative approaches. Open, integral and holistic and diachronic political thought research by political scientists capable of its broader overview and multiaspect explication is recommended. Significant cognitive inspirations which are derived from many other humanities and social sciences should not be disregarded. Systematically conducted political thought research of many ideological trends and thereby various axiological interpretations, as well as basic concepts and programme and conceptual theses enables formulating — due to taking into account requirements of nomological explanation — important assertions as statements on a higher level of generality. Thus, it may lead to creating a hypothetical paradigm of political thought research, complementary to deeper hermeneutic reflection imperative, the subject of which would be creative political theories, obtaining relevant references in political practice. As a result of this, it would be possible to discover the “political world” regularities. This would significantly enrich the spectrum of findings in the field of theory of politics.
