"Against the method" or about the advantages, sense and disadvantages of scientific writing 3302-PMZ-OG
What is scientificity? When a given text is scientific and when it is not, even if it contains formal signs of the scientific text? Is the method an indicator of scientificity? These and other questions are at the centrum of our considerations. That is why we will start from getting to know Ludwik Fleck's concept of the genesis and development of a scientific fact. On this occasion, we will reflect on what is a scientific fact and what is the object of research in our own work. We also will consider the methods, their functions, disadvantages and advantages. We will work on our own texts, written as a part of seminars in our departments. During this work we will be discussing the narrative of our own text and also the goals we want to achieve through this narrative. The seminar has a practical-theoretical character and serves to overcome the dualistic speech in the argumentation of the written works. The seminar also reflects on the computerization of the writing process
