The purpose of this paper is to characterize weak compactness in Orlicz spaces. Though an Orlicz space is a Banach space, it will be viewed from the standpoint of the theory of Köthe spaces. Considering that a norm-bounded subset is not weakly compact in general, we shall give some criteria for weak compactness in terms of the functional defining an Orlicz space. Because weak compactness is closely connected with the continuity of the semi-norms on the conjugate space, at the same time some properties of continuous semi-norms on Orlicz spaces will be brought to light.

The first characterization (Theorem 1) is concerned with degree of smoothness of the functional at the origin. In Theorem 2 a connection between weak compactness and boundedness (by another functional) is obtained. In Theorem 3 the result in Theorem 2 is stated as a proposition about continuous seminorms.
