Allegations of plagiarism

In 2017, the accusation was raised that Roščić, in his scientific work submitted in 1988, "Social Theory as a Critical Theory of the Subject: on the Social Theory of Th. W. Adornos", page by page passages from the 1982 doctoral thesis by Peter Decker "The Methodology of Critical Search for Meaning.
