In this special issue of Societas/Communitas we present a selection of papers from previous issues in Polish. All authors were, at the time of publishing, members of the faculty of the Institute of Applied Social Sciences.

The academic community at the Universitys ISNS defines applied sciences as, firstly, the generation of knowledge based on empirical studies as broadly Semi-Annual Journal of understood. And secondly, as the application of notions, theories and concepts already existing, not only for resolving social problems but also for describing Institute of Applied Social Sciences and interpreting social life, both as an entirety and in its multifarious aspects, University of Warsaw fragments and layers (usually leading to significant modifications in these notions, theories and concepts). The specific nature of the ISNS may be described in brief by the following two expressions: INTERDISCIPLINARITY and PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS OF THE SOCIAL SCIENCES. In its science and research teams, the Institute Anthropology gathers together representatives of a variety of the humanistic disciplines and social sciences (sociologists, anthropologists, psychologists, pedagogues, histo- rians and philosophers), frequently representing unique sub-disciplines and academic specialisations.

Her idea was to make it an interdiscipli- nary vehicle of open debate in the humanities. Herself an educationalist and sociologist, she wrote on hippie counterculture, on experimental theatre (in which she worked under Jerzy Grotowski) and on current culture trends. The profile of the founding mother of our journal is in itself a record of the Polish humanities struggling to survive and flourish following the political transformation from the obnoxious totalitarianism of the past to the market democracy that followed. In this special issue of Societas/Communitas we present a selection of papers from previous issues in Polish. All authors were, at the time of publishing, members of the faculty of the Institute of Applied Social Sciences. In this way we want to present the journals publisher, an Institute with a brief though approaching 25 years and complicated history. At the beginning was a Chair in History and Theory of Morality set up for Professor Maria Ossowska (1896 1974) at the Department of Philosophy and Sociology of the University of Warsaw. Under the leadership of her student Adam Podgórec- ki (1925 1998) it was transformed into a unique university unit dealing with sociology of law and norms in general. Over the years Podgórecki fos- tered interest in social pathology while his involvement in praxeology led him to propose sociotechnics as a special branch of the practical sciences that would deal with scientific influence on social processes and events. In 1973 he split from the Institute of Sociology and co-established the new and autonomous Institute of Social Prevention and Resocialisation, as the name he proposed the Institute of Sociotechnics was unacceptable to the com- munist political authorities then in power in Poland. In 1990 this Institute split into two, forming a joint Department, while most sociologists and psychologists separated from the educationalists and criminologists, setting up at the University of Warsaw the first Institute of Applied Social Sciences in Poland (the ISNS). The academic community at the Universitys ISNS defines applied sciences as, firstly, the generation of knowledge based on empirical studies as broadly understood. And secondly, as the application of notions, theories and concepts already existing, not only for resolving social problems but also for describing and interpreting social life, both as an entirety and in its multifarious aspects, fragments and layers (usually leading to significant SOCIETAS/COMMUNITAS 2-2(18-2) 2014 7 1.p65 7 15-02-23, 10:28 From the Editors modifications in these notions, theories and concepts). Our experience sug- gests that the area of science thus defined expands not only the opportuni- ties for collaboration with practitioners, but also contributes to the development of fundamental theories and research. The specific nature of the ISNS may be described in brief by the following two expressions: INTERDISCIPLINARITY and PRACTICAL APPLICA- TIONS OF THE SOCIAL SCIENCES. In its science and research teams, the Institute gathers together representatives of a variety of
