The Praxeology of Tadeusz Kotarbiński and its Contribution to the Economic Theory
Vosyková, Martina ; Vaverka, Tomáš (advisor) ; Hudík, Marek (referee)
This paper focuses on the characterisation of approach of Tadeusz Kotarbiński, a Polish scientist, to the praxeological thought, which is mainly based on a study of Kotarbiński's work 'Traktat o dobrej robocie'. In this work Kotarbiński formulated the basics of praxeology as a new branch of science. This paper also aims to assess the significance of Kotarbiński's praxeology for economic theory, using a confrontation of Kotarbiński's approach to praxeology with the approach of Austrian school, which had widened the term 'praxeology' into the economic field. Because of the fact, that Kotarbińsky's not intending to contribute directly to the economics, we cannot a priori expect to find any significant contributions. However, an interesting area for this examination can be the area of the rationality of conduct and the area of planning, which is widely analysed in Kotarbiński's essay 'Ogólne pojęcie planu'.
