In this paper, "transitology" as a new direction in political and economic science is discussed. The concept of "transitology" was developed based on theories of economic transformation from a centrally planned economy towards a market economy. In the context of the questions what might the alleged research domain of this new discipline be, and what tools are available for applying transitology, the author addresses some issues with regard to the ontology and epistemology of social economic research on the transition in Central and Eastern Europe. (original abstract)

W niniejszym artykule omówiono "tranzytologię" jako nowy kierunek w naukach politycznych i ekonomicznych. Koncepcja "tranzytologii" została opracowana w oparciu o teorię transformacji ekonomicznej z gospodarki centralnie planowanej w gospodarkę rynkową. W kontekście pytań, czego może dotyczyć przypuszczalna domena badań tej nowej dyscypliny, a także jakie narzędzia można wykorzystać w ramach stosowania tranzytologii, autor porusza pewne zagadnienia odnoszące się do ontologii i epistemologii społecznych badań ekonomicznych dotyczących Europy Środkowo-Wschodniej.
