Žmogus ir visuomenė

Abstract

The main question of philosophy is what is man? The answers to this question compose by its very nature metaphysics: all other subjects (nature, cognition, beauty, good, etc) directly or indirectly serve this end. The article puts forward for discussion ideas, trends and tendencies in philosophy about the nature of society. It states that there is no one form of society, as the life of man progresses in the community, organisation, state, family, people, etc. In the article it attempts to comment on the relations of man in these forms of social life. The diversity of answers evidently displays that philosophy nevertheless is progressing.
