Description
Summary:	The article raises the question whether communication and information sciences should be considered a part of social sciences. Two answers to this question are analyzed. First answer claims that the problems of communication and information exceed the boundaries of a particular research discipline, therefore the science that deals with this subject should be considered a metascience that is examining and structuring general human knowledge. The second, however the more popular answer, argues that communication sciences are a part of social sciences, based on the interpretive approach to social reality. The article aims at reconstructing theoretical, philosophical and methodological premises of this position. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
