In this sense, solipsism, defined as a research perspective in political science, is a position in which in an uncompromisingly consistent, even “total” way, it refers to subjective and subject-factors and/or determinants of scientific cognition and research of political reality. In the article, the polemic in relation to solipsism will mean the presentation of the aporia’s of solipsism based on externalistic positions related to the arguments proposed by Hilary Putnam and Fred Dretske.}, doi = {10.4467/25440845TP.19.016.1178}, url = {https://ejournals.eu/en/journal/teoria-polityki/article/zewnetrznosc-interpretacji-badanie-polityki-w-ujeciu-eksternalistycznym} }
