Sociological Aspects of the Theory of Ratiovitalism

Mieczysław Jagłowski

Abstract

The paper places emphasis on a socjologi­cal concept of Spanish ratiovitalists — J. Ortega y Gasset and J. Marias — aimed at formulating the sociology of science. This question is presen­ted in the light of relations between ratiovita­lism and phenomenology as, according to the author, the latter played an important role in shaping the philosophy in question. In the pa-per the links between theoretical attitudes of ratiovitalism and phenomenology towards so­cial and cultural phenomena are stressed. Tho­se links reveal, among others, in eidetic and personalistic perception of the above phenome­na, as well as in perceiving them as factors influencing creation of the human world and its further cognition. The paper also presents the formulated by ratiovitalists notion of social structure, together with the rule of its change­ability reflected in the changeability of human cognition. An attempt to define theoretical va­lues of disscused ideas was made as well.
