Summary

The paper is a commentary to Przemyslaw Palka’s analysis of the multidimensional relation between private law and cognitive science. One particular problem touched upon by Palka is further elaborated: the descriptive layer of the private law and its relation to the cognitive sciences. The emphasis is placed on two interrelated issues: presuppositions of the legal norms and the relationship between legal and scientific “images of man.”
