    Abstract

    This paper examines three discourses describing the reality of the 2022 crises: energy,
    inflation, recession and an emerging planetary crisis. These are the discourses of media, geopolitics and political economy. They are assessed from the point of view of their
    cognitive value, i.e. the extent to which they reveal the causal background and actions
    of political actors and interpret the consequences of their actions. The cognitive value of
    individual discourses is determined by the conceptual apparatus used, closely intertwined
    with the language and categories used by the participants in the public debate. The more
    the language is saturated with theoretical categories and general knowledge, the closer
    the picture of the social world is to the postulates of moderate cognitive realism. In the
    author’s opinion, the logic of the research procedure shown is an illustration of the method
    of analysing open macro-social processes, i.e. when we do not yet know their causes and effects. The researcher has at his disposal, apart from available factual information, mainly
    general knowledge about the mechanisms of duration and change of social structures.
    The erudition and imagination of the humanist are then important. The analysis of the
    crises of autumn 2022 is, in the author’s intention, an attempt to realise the postulate
    of a new political economy as a reflection integrally linking economic knowledge, social
    dynamics and politics.
