Florian Znaniecki: dziedzictwo idei i jego pęknięcia (Kraków: Oficyna Wydawnicza Impuls, 2022). This book is read using an interpretative framework constructed based on the category of breaking through. It is about breaking through the reception blocks that prevent valuable and possibly full contact with the work of the classic in symbolic culture. Obstacles to the reception of Florian Znaniecki’s achievements, which are taken into account here, include: the extensiveness and complexity of his output, reading strategies that diminish its object, weak points of the studied thought, socio-historical veils, barriers of contemporary academic practices, empty spaces in scientific disciplines, ideas about the work as a totality in the meaning of a finalized and thus closed past. Ultimately, Witkowski’s book is presented as an invitation to a theoretical – and not, for example, biographical – reading of Znaniecki’s work, which puts the invited readers in an embarrassing but invigorating position.
