Epistemologia historyczna jako podstawa metodologiczna dla krytycznej historiografii psychologii – Krystyny Zamiary badania dynamiki pojęć i programów psychologicznych.

Abstract

The article aims to present Krystyna Zamiara’s application of the historical epistemology methodology, introduced by Jerzy Kmita, to historical psychological studies. Both Zamiara and Kmita were members of the Poznań Methodological School that began to form in 1960s and developed in 1970s at Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań. Historical epistemology is a methodology of studying the process of the development of science, based on Marks’s dialectical materialism. It assumes that science is a social practice which development is determined by social, historical processes as well as ontological and epistemological assumptions of any scientific societies. Krystyna Zamiara applied historical epistemology to study hidden assumptions determining the development of psychological programs. She also analyzed the development and the use of the notion of psychological parallelism and the consequences of accepting or rejecting parallelism for modern psychology.
