Summary/Abstract: Towards one view on social life. The aim of this paper is to examine main claims by P. Sýkora regarding socio-biology as a new paradigma for social sciences and humanities. The author tries to show why Sykora fails to provide serious and justified evidence for an acceptance of socio-biology as methodological paradigm for social knowledge. The point is related with his misunderstanding of differences between so - called brute facts and social or institutional facts on the other hand. From this point of view are examined and critized Sýkora´s presentation of the case for the defence of principles of socio-biology.
