Talk:Florian Znaniecki

Dylanmiller comment
Florian Znaniecki; under-rated visionary or Hegel wannabe? Dylanmiller 05:06, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

Hi from Nigel
firstly I would like to strongly object to the tone and content of the above comment by Dylanmiller.

very minor changes
I changed sociology to Sociology, I changed humanist sociology to Humanistic Sociology so it links to the Humanistic Sociology page. I put Humanistics Sociology in the see also section Nigel Savage 05:36, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I think this should be reverted per Naming conventions (capitalization) and Manual of Style (capital letters).--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 15:43, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks Piotr for pointing out naming conventions, the link to Florian Znaniecki Society in external links is broken, I will search around for a new link. I would like to add this link("The Humanistic Approach of Florian Znaniecki": http://www.lrz-muenchen.de/~Prof.Helle/znaniecki1.htm ) to the external links. It is a good summary of his academic life and ideas/work/contribution. I will wait to see if anyone objects Nigel Savage 00:34, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Unreferenced content removed - four type of character and personaliity
I am removing the following paragraph as unreferenced. I cannot find a ref for it, even in Google Books; no source seems to use all four Polish terms? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 09:37, 27 May 2014 (UTC)

Znaniecki also defined four types of character and personality:
 * the humorous man (Polish człowiek zabawy) - develops among those who have much time, treats work as fun;
 * the working man (Polish człowiek pracy) - develops among the working class social class, treats work as a life necessity;
 * the well-behaved man (Polish człowiek dobrze wychowany) - develops among the intelligentsia social class;
 * the deviant man (Polish człowiek zboczeniec (dewiant)) - easily distinguishable from the others, not always in a negative perspective (he can be a genius or a criminal).


 * PS. Dulczewski (1986:254) briefly mentions the first three in plural - ludzie zabaway, etc. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here  08:01, 25 July 2014 (UTC)

Portrait photograph
Is there any way to get an actual photograph of Florian Znaniecki, such as the article had till the photo was deleted from the Commons? A plaque is not a satisfactory substitute. Surely a photo must be available somewhere — the man's been dead long enough. Nihil novi (talk) 08:42, 25 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately, with the prevailing meta:copyright paranoia, not really. He died in 1958. I couldn't find any pic from his young days (pre-1923), which would satisfy the easy cut-off date. See commons:User:Piotrus/PolishCopyright for what else may be acceptable, but long story short, available photographs are either anonymous or the photographer hasn't died far enough ago. For US, see commons:Commons:Anonymous_works mitigated by commons:Commons:Anonymous_works. I did contact ASA about their picture and they don't know who the author was. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 06:31, 29 July 2014 (UTC)

"List of works"
I've edited — where necessary, translated Polish titles, in — the article's "List of works".

Unfortunately, all the titles — of articles as well as books — were indiscriminately given in italics, making it impossible to tell which items were books and which were articles. In English, we italicize books, and we put articles in quotation marks.

In English, too, we list only the first city of a book's publication, not all those that may appear on the title page. I have dropped second and subsequent cities.

However, publishers' names are obligatory, and have almost nowhere been provided.

So, also, is the title of the periodical in which an article appeared.

It would be desirable to supply the respective information where it is missing.

Thanks.

copy-edit completed
I've finished copy-editing the article. It would be well for those familiar with the sources to check the accuracy of the English text. My usually fair ability to guess the meanings of source texts may have failed me in a few spots, especially toward the end of the article. For example, in the original "Works" section, what is the exact meaning of "Szacki notes a puzzling gap in Znaniecki's research, which was that while he was well read and in discussion with most past and present theories, he mostly ignored the works of some notable sociologists of his time, such as Max Weber, Vilfredo Pareto and Talcott Parsons. In turn, his works were in close discussion with those of William I. Thomas, Georg Simmel, Robert E. Park and Émile Durkheim."? Nihil novi (talk) 08:01, 9 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Rather than in discussion, perhaps a better expression would be in polemics with? Polish would be "jego prace nawiązywały do... ale nie brały pod uwagę prac... Były w ścisłym dialogu z...". --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 04:04, 10 August 2014 (UTC)
