The monograph, prepared by the international team of authors, researches and develops criteria for assessing the contribution of Russian and Polish social and humanities disciplines (in the context of scientific schools, research areas, and prominent scientists) in the development of the humanities and the mechanisms of reception and transmission of scientific knowledge in the modern world. The monograph features a multidisciplinary approach and a broad timeframe (from the 18th century — the period of formation of national science — till the post-Soviet years). In the book, leading scientists from Russia and Poland introduce their main social-humanitarian disciplines: classics, history, philology, sociology, psychology, economics, law, and philosophy.

This book is intended for a wide range of researchers in the humanities, in particular for specialists in the history of science and the history of ideas; university teachers, professors, undergraduate and graduate students.
