Vidurio Europos tapatumas kaip politikos filosofijos problema
Identity of Central Europe as a Problem of Political Philosophy

Summary/Abstract: Common regional identity can never be derived from scientific cultural studies conducted in certain countries. A new cultural and philosophical meaning can never be devised on the basis of political science. It can only be the result of philosophical imagination. Scientists can present facts which bear proof of merely cultural and political affinity. However, so far they have failed to propose any more significant concepts or images for the future of Central Europe. Mere knowledge of empirical facts cannot be treated as a philosophical discovery. Both politicians and scientists can be aware of and handle an abundance of facts, and yet a philosophical idea is needed to bind all these facts into one coherent whole.
