Social philosophy of Fabijonas Kemėšis
ENProfessor Fabijonas Kemesis was one of those intellectuals who bravely outlived the Soviet occupation, and started writing during the war the book, Towards a Christian Economy. This was continued during the period of the second Bolshevik occupation and is considered the main work of his life. The work, preserved for 50 years of occupation by Fabijonas Kemesis's friends, when the author was repressed in 1947 and killed in the Siberian camps in 1954, is now being prepared for publication. The conceptions and main ideas presented in the book are an undoubted continuation of the earlier works of Kemesis, so that they constitute a generalization, systematization and more precise definition of his earlier theoretical convictions. The largest part of the book is devoted to the history of social conceptions and the criticism of capitalist social theories. It is a pity that the work was not finished and its most positive part where the author's vision of society should have been presented was not written or disappeared. What remained was the author's methodology, historical evaluation, social insight and sensitive reaction to the contemporary upheavals of the social life and evolution of Lithuanian social philosophy all the pressing problems of today.
