Andrzej Wohl – the forgotten titan
Journal Title: Antropomotoryka. Journal of Kinesiology and Exercise Sciences - Year 2012, Vol 22, Issue 60
Abstract
The author reminds some of achievements by Professor Andrzej Wohl. By education he was a philosopher, he dealt mainly with the sociology, but by now his works on human motor behaviour seem to be underestimated. He was a communist, what to great extent determined his scientific views, and thus also the content of his kinesiologic works. Nevertheless, he was an insightful thinker, and while remaining in the circle of fans of I.P. Pavlov’s theory, which dominated in socialist countries in that period, he showed many directions that might lead to the real progress in kinesiology. Above all, he emphasized the great potentialities of theoretical analyses, underlying any progress in science. It seems that in contemporary science (also in kinesiology), being dominated by empirical researches, the voice of Andrzej Wohl is especially worth remembering. It would be reasonable to reject the ideological layer of his analyses and to adopt his methodology of thinking, which still – or, may be, peculiarly nowadays – may turn out to be particularly valuable in leading the kinesiology, all over the world, outfrom the state of stagnation.
