Augustinas Dainys

The Main Paradigms of Cpontemporary Lithuanian Philosophy Augustinas Dainys

In Augustinas's Dainys's view, the orientation of fidelity to the presence, which is shown by philosophers working in the analytic, phenomenological and postmodern paradigms, may be recognized as the most representative of specifics of Lithuanian philosophy. In addition to the alternative of Greek and Jewish ways of thinking, discussed by Lithuanian philosophers over last decade, it is possible to distinguish the alternative of Lithuanian way of thinking and sensing. If the Greek alternative of philosophical thinking is expressed by curious and wondering mind and the Jewish alternative is expressed by orientation to interpersonal relationship, the alternative of Lithuanian way of thinking and sensing is expressed by the orientation to the presence.
