This is the legacy of Samuel and Melania Hahnemann and other German homeopathic physicians. It encompasses printed texts, documentation of diseases, personal manuscripts and elements of 'homeopathic material culture'. The review of the collections described in the article has been arranged in such a way as to serve as a guide for those researching this area.

He can see the correct interest in social problems of medicine history only in works and centres dominated by the professional historians, not by the physicians. Despite the censorious opinion by the reviewer, the editorial staff has decided to publish the article accompanied by the answer to review, treating it as the introduction to methodological discussion between the medicine historians - physicians and historians - who are engaged in the history of medicine.

On the one hand, the researchers in this field are not physicians exclusively any longer but more and more frequently the representatives of other medical professions and professional historians, as well. On the other hand, the major direction of interest to the history of medical sciences, i.e. cultivating the traditions of medical professions and molding the attitudes of environments related with them is not sufficient in the long run. The variety of extra source knowledge, shared in the community of researches, diverse research approaches, hierarchy of problems worth studying and, finally scientific traditions individual research groups derive from have produced a significant ferment in the medical environments. At last disputes have been held, although quite often unofficially during various scientific meetings, on professional qualification of a historian of medical sciences and sometimes on the scope of his or her discipline. The author analyzes in detail the divergence in the features of individual study approaches for both groups and their consequences. The author's standpoint is that it is necessary to be aware of the diverse study approaches and hierarchy of problem eligible for studying to break the distinction and create interdisciplinary units. This will allow an interparadigmatic dialog, a professional division of work and search for the area of common interest, while retaining methodological autonomic features.

[Jerzy Kmita's conception of a theoretical history of science as an instrument in the study of the history of medical sciences]

In this understanding science is social methodological awareness, i.e. the whole of norms and directives that are respected by the research community and which universally regulate scientific praxis in rational-subjective terms. The theoretical history of science takes account of two kinds of considerations, treating science as (1) the subjective-rational source of scientific praxis, and thus indirectly also of scientific knowledge (which is true, probably true, or coming closer to the truth than the already existent scientific knowledge); (2) a subjective-rational cultural regulator of scientific praxis and knowledge that is functionally determined by the needs of technological effectiveness, and possibly also evaluate-religious and educational effectiveness, and that is capable of satisfying such needs. Following the historical changes of those aspects is not subject to evaluative judgements relating to the plausibility of the emerging scientific knowledge, the developmental phases of science or the ideals of truth. The proposed theoretical history of science constitutes only an attempt to reconstruct the said phenomena in subjective-rational terms, and hence has a culture-descriptive character. The aim of the article is to present the potential and limitations of using this conception for the study of the history of medical sciences.

The author analyzes the role of the history of medicine in the COVID-19 pandemic. This situation is understood as an opportunity for changes in Polish medical historiography in its non-classical sense. The author also investigates the narrative structures, showing how, in the context of a pandemic, such fundamental metaphors as pathogenesis, salutogenesis or pathocenosis could be used. The attention is also given to public discourse, inspiring the historian of medicine to address such notions as breakthroughs in science, the process of validating new medical knowledge during a pandemic crisis, or anti-science. The concept of pathocenosis as a theoretical framework for the scientific and public ‘COVID-related’ discourse was analyzed as a case study. The author treats this reflection as an invitation to discuss the changes in Polish medical historiography in the face of a medical c...
