Summary/Abstract: The third part of the article aims to specify the phenomenological aspects of the problem of relevance. The paper focus upon four major areas of concern: investigation of basic concepts such as social reality, human action, and social interaction (I); investigation of the philophical roots of the problem by focusing reflectively on the perceptual field, and attempting to describe the primary locus of self-evidence (II); analyses of fundamental matters of political philosophy as state, community, society, individual (III); and finally, investigation of the relationship between the freedom and equality, and of various aspects of this fundamental relationship in contemporary Lithuanian society.
