Keywords: Lithuanian historiography of philosophy; contextualism; rational reconstruction; comparativistic methodology

Summary/Abstract: The paper examines the elements of the methodology of rational reconstruction. These elements are the description, structuring and evaluation of philosophical and logical theories of the past by the means of contemporary theoretical problems and the methods of their solution. Their functioning can be observed in the works of R. Plečkaitis. Some contextualistic researches of the Lithuanian historiography of philosophy are concisely discussed. The article also investigates the usage of comparativistic methodology. Its essential elements are those subjects, which exist independently (parallel) of each other; nevertheless, the certain conceptual basis for their theoretical comparison is present. A. Beinorius’s subject of inquiry is certain integral whole, the tradition of thinking, or, more precisely, the comparison of two traditions and their properties. In this research, the two independent subjects are related by consciousness as their own subject of inquiry.
