O pojęciu kultury politycznej. Uwagi na marginesie książki Karola B. Janowskiego Kultura polityczna Polaków… Pomiędzy integracją a konfliktem

Abstract

I join those who claim that the category of political culture in science is confusing and useless, and that its isolation for research purposes is pointless2. I omit the history of the notion of political culture, I do not deal with its definitions, I do not refer to the classification, I do not consider what should be adapted to political culture from one or another understood culture in a general sense. My focus is on showing that what is called “political culture” is essentially nothing other than politics, policy, polity or the selected elements that contribute it.
