Kanon wiedzy pewnej wobec paktu czytelniczego w tekstach (nie tylko) naukowych

In the age of social media, the authority of science and scientism is no longer sufficient to gain the trust or attention of readers. Therefore, it seems necessary for the author of a text to establish a kind of pact with them – an individual pact that does not entirely dispel distrust toward scientific findings or institutions (as it seems impossible), but assumes that the text presented to the recipient will be the result of work conducted in the spirit of epistemological representation: devoid of emotional or political manipulation. honest, diligent, marked by effort, and driven by a desire to establish a connection with the reader. Hence the proposal to refer to this as a scientific reference pact, one element of which would be, for example, concern for reliable peer review, responsible choice of publication venue, but above all, the establishment of a relationship with the recipient through clear communication. The authors of the article adopted the strategy of bricolage, which is particularly useful for analyzing cultural texts within the interpretative paradigm. The text addresses the relationship between truth and fiction in the so-called non-fiction genres and in scientific texts; at the same time, it contributes to the discussion on the possibility of disseminating scientific knowledge, both in the context of the achievements of the philosophy of science and the widespread practice of knowledge construction by media users.
