Pirmasis Filosofinio Ugdymo Lietuvoje Etapas: Tarp Scholastikos Ir Naujojo Mokslo
The First Stage of Philosophical Education in Lithuania: Between Scholasticism and New Sciences

Summary/Abstract: The article analyses the scholastic stage of education in Lithuania (XVI –XVII centuries), which coincides with the beginning of professional philosophical education in Lithuania. The author of the article concentrates on the form and content of that education as well as on its European context. The analysis comes to conclusion that the above mentioned education preserved the traditional scholastic form prevailing in contemporary European universities, which included lectures, disputes, exams, bachelor‘s and master‘s thesis and exams. Meanwhile the content of education basically digressed from classic medieval scholasticism – the so called Second Scholasticism. The content included some elements of natural sciences, and the philosophy of the Renaissance and New Ages was lectured upon in the schools of the Great Duchy of Lithuania. Those new elements were mostly included in political philosophy, physics and metaphysics. Ethics and logic remained predominantly traditional scholastic disciplines. They experienced hardly any influence from the new sciences and philosophy.
