Magistro baigiamajame darbe ,,Teisinis nihilizmas: jo priežastys ir įveikimo galimybės Lietuvoje” nagrinėjamos labai aktualios problemos valstybei ir visuomenės gyvenimui. Šis darbas yra taikomojo pobūdžio krypties, kadangi pateikiami ir analizuojami savarankiškai gauti nauji empiriniai duomenys: paneigiama daugelio autorių hipotezė, kad tik susibūrusios žmonių grupės gali išspręsti iškilusias ekonomines, socialines, teisėkūros ar kitas problemas, pažaboti politikų ir valdininkų savivalę. Kovoti su teisiniu nihilizmu gali ir privalo kiekvienas Lietuvos Respublikos pilietis, kuris su tuo reiškiniu susiduria. Šis darbas yra teorinio analitinio pobūdžio krypties, nes nagrinėjami teoriniai literatūriniai šaltiniai, Lietuvos Respublikos ir kitų šalių teisės aktai, pateikiami originalūs praktinių problemų sprendimo būdai; pateikiami pavyzdžiai, kaip galima Lietuvoje kovoti su politikų ir valstybės tarnautojų savivale ir neteisminėmis, ir teisminėmis priemonėmis. / In the graduation theses for master’s degree ,,Legal Nihilism in Lithuania: Its Causes and Possibilities to Overcome It” urgent problems for the state and public life are discused. The paper is of applied tendency; hypothesis of many authors, that only rallied groups of people can solve rising economical, social and legal problems as well to stamp out the self-will of politicans and officials, is denied. Every citizen of the Respublic of Lithuania, coming across the phenomenon, must fight against the legal nihilism. The work is of theoretical-analytical tendency, of theoretical literary sources, legal acts of the Respublic of Lithuania and of other countries are investigated, original ways of solving the practical problems are present as well as the modes of fight against the self-will of Lithuanian politicians and officials by judicial and non-judicial measures.

Recent philosophers assess differently the extent to which affinity is to be found between the idealist metaphysics of G. W. Leibniz and George Berkeley. I argue that these figures’ idealisms are indeed strongly aligned. They espouse related accounts of the nature of mental substance and state. They similarly restrict the domain of causality. They each reject the Lockean primary/secondary quality dichotomy. Over against the criticism that idealisms cannot allow for a distinction to be made out between real and illusory perceptual experience, the two philosophers offer comparable solutions. Nevertheless, their ontologies are not identical, and are primarily to be distinguished in terms of their disparate characterisations of ultimate reality as being either immanent or transcendent to percipient subjects like us. This continuum of transcendentism and immanentism has further application as a conceptual tool both for tracing the rise of modern philosophy and for developing new metaphysical and epistemological accounts of the nature of the world and our relation to it.

Contemporary philosopher, Joseph Levine, has argued that human phenomenological experience cannot be explained solely through the resources of neuroscience, and that a significant ‘explanatory gap’ exists between the rich features of human experience and scientific explanations of the mind. This thesis examines Guiseppina D’Oro’s novel suggestion that the gap exists, but that it is a semantic rather than an empirical problem. D’Oro argues that the ‘gap’ is a persistent philosophical problem because of its semantic nature, and that advances in neuroscience will fail to resolve the gap because its source is a conceptual distinction that is not marked by empirical difference. In the thesis I will discuss some virtues and difficulties with D’Oro’s thesis, and the implications her claim has more broadly for philosophers of mind. / Graduate / 0422

In this paper, I discuss the connection between happiness and reason in the work of Herder, Kant, and Hegel. First, I consider Herder’s integration of satisfaction and rationality and Kant’s complete separation of rational imperatives from particular experience. I discuss (and partially endorse) Kant’s critique of Herder as arbitrary and overly reliant on analogy. I then turn to Hegel’s response to this debate. I argue that Hegel’s Phenomenology provides an integration of happiness (in the broad, Aristotelian sense) and reason that is not subject to the same pitfalls as Herder’s solution. I examine two examples of rational critique in the Phenomenology and conclude with brief remarks about happiness and the rational society in Hegel’s work.
