Reflections on Intellectual Independence of Scientists in Eastern Europe
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 20 November 2018
Extract
Personal independence of scientists, particularly in social sciences, presents a multidimensional problem. We propose to base our observations mainly on the careers of scientists in Poland, as seen against the background of the relations between the power elite and the cultural elite in a communist country. There are differences in time and place, but certain general tendencies can be observed.
