Article Title：On the boundary of two worlds: Lithuanian philosophy in the twentieth century
Abstract：
Modern Lithuanian philosophy originated as a response to the questions formulated in Russian philosophy - religious, moral, and social. Later it turned to Continental European philosophy, preoccupying itself with German and French existentialism, hermeneutics, and phenomenology. Yet the loss of independent political and intellectual existence Lithuania experienced for five decades isolated and marginalized the then lively and promising intellectual culture. In the 1980s, Lithuanian philosophy started recovering and reorienting itself, again, to Western currents of modern theoretical thought. Drawing on the example of modern Lithuanian philosophy, the article presents a detailed historical overview of what might be termed the East-Central European route to political and cultural modernity.
