Polskie koncepcje wzajemności. Wybrane problemy

Reciprocity is one of the central problems of numerous concepts explaining social relations. It starts from the ancient principle of reciprocity (do ut des − I give that you may give) and ends with contemporary theories of interactionism, theories of social exchange or the philosophy of the meeting. This paper presents selected problems of Polish conceptions of principle of reciprocity. There are two sorts of authors. The first sort of authors denies the value of the principle of reciprocity for contemporary social life (for example Z. Bauman and K. Szewczyk). The second refers to practical implications of the principle of reciprocity (for example M. Flis and J. Bierówka).
