Šiame magistro darbe, remiantis teoriniais darnaus vystymosi pagrindais, buvo analizuojamas ir vertinamas pastarųjų devynių metų Lietuvos socialinis - ekonominis augimas ir nuosmukis bei aplinkos būklės kitimas pagal darnaus vystymosi koncepciją, aptariant ir išanalizuojant situaciją apibūdinančius darnaus vystymosi rodiklius. Buvo apžvelgti darnaus vystymosi teoriniai aspektai, išanalizuoti bei palyginti pagrindiniai Lietuvos ekonominiai, socialiniai ir aplinkos būklės rodikliai Europos Sąjungos bei Baltijos šalių kontekste. Atlikti metodologiniai darnaus vystymosi rodiklio skaičiavimai, įvertintos Lietuvos ekonominio socialinio ir aplinkos būklės darnumo tendencijos ir šių sričių tarpusavio sąveika, o taip pat patvirtinta iškelta hipotezė, kad tradicinių ekonominės - socialinės plėtros rodiklių nepakanka matuoti šalies ekonominį – socialinį darnumą. / In this master's thesis, based on a theoretical basis for sustainable development, has been analyzed and evaluated last nine years Lithuania’s social economic growth and recession and changes in environmental sustainability, discussing and analyzing the situation characterizing the sustainable development indicators. In this work was reviewed the theoretical aspects of sustainable development, analyzed and compared the main Lithuania's economic, social and environmental indicators in the European Union and the Baltic countries context. By calculating methodological sustainable development indicator’s, evaluated Lithuania’s economic, social and environmental sustainability trends and confirmed the hypothesis of this work – that traditional development indicators is not enough to measure countries economic – social sustainability.

Nehamas and Rorty assert that while creating identity one has to obey to some rules. However, the rules the philosophers announce are somewhat different. As to Nehamas, he claims that the project of the self-creation ought to be coherent and distinctive. These two criteria are to be achieved, otherwise the self-creation will fail. In addition, this project has to be accomplished in writing. Nehamas demonstrates how these criteria distinctiveness and coherence – are achieved in the writings of certain philosophers. These philosophers are Socrates, Plato, Montaigne, Nietzsche, Foucault and ultimately Nehamas himself. Nehamas suggests that all these philosophers belong to the tradition of the art of living and that all of them are primarily concerned with the projects of self-creation and self-perfection. As to Rorty, he asserts that the creator of oneself has to fulfil one major requirement. Like Nehamas, Rorty claims that the aim of self-creator, whom he... [to full text]
