Summary/Abstract: Marcin Gacek’s reflection on sociological commentary in this article has been inspired by the scientific achievements and sociological reflections of French sociologist Raymond Aron. In his work, Aron combines the reliability and sensitivity of description, directly related to his sociological research, with erudite style and a phenomenal sense of the social pulse characteristic of an outstanding observer who is scientifically engaged in commenting on present-day issues. The basic question that Gacek poses is, Is it possible to practice sociology while writing commentary?
