What it means to engage in sociological reflections? Sighing on the margin of a recent debate

Abstract

An image of sociology, as developed during the debate on prof. Ivo Budil's plagiarism, is critically discussed.

The focus is on the few contributions that explicitly referred to (and called for) a sociological perspective on plagiarism. I explain misunderstandings regarding social constructivism and disinterested sociological point of view.
