PHILOSOPHY OF JESUITS IN LITHUANIA SINCE THE 16TH UNTIL THE 18TH CENTURY

Summary/Abstract: The article consists of the most significant conclusions from the research into the philosophy of Jesuits in Poland and Lithuania that had been systematically conducted by the author for thirty years. It refers to the period since the beginning of the activity of Jesuits in Lithuania in the second half of the 16th century until the end of the 18th century. Having distinguished the two areas of Jesuit philosophy in Lithuania of the relevant period – philosophy connected with teaching, i. e. taught at the Jesuit schools, and civic philosophy, not connected directly with teaching – the article discusses the most eminent Jesuit philosophers, as well as the sources and significance of Jesuit philosophy, also its relation to Aristotelian doctrine and new physics of the time. The main concerns of the insufficiently examined civic philosophy are discussed in the last section.
