Summary/Abstract: It is widely assumed that reism, a philosophical position introduced by Tadeusz Kotarbiński, had two aspects: ontological and semantic. Sometimes it is also claimed that reism ultimately became a kind of methodological program. The aim of this article is to analyze the methodological aspect of reism (or methodological reism). Since Kotarbiński did not explicitly formulate this layer of his theory, the first part of the article attempts to reconstruct methodological reism. In the second part, I discuss some of its problems. Finally, in the third part, I try to show its merits.
