Antanas Maceina – Author of the Philosophy of
Nationality and National Upbringing
SUMMARY
Gauta 2005-03-28
The author of the present article examines views expressed by Antanas Maciena (1908–1987), a famous
Lithuanian philosopher of the interwar period and professor at Kaunas University, on the prerequisites
and preconditions for the formation of nationality, national identity, and the national state. Maceina
belongs to the group of Lithuanian philosophers who were raised as personalities and intellectuals in
the independent Lithuanian Republic. After graduating from Kaunas University, he continued his studies
abroad. After World War II, he settled in West Germany and took teaching positions in German
universities.
The theoretical analysis of this article focuses on the doctoral thesis by Maceina, subsequently published
as an extensive 677-page study, The National Upbringing, which gives an exhaustive survey of
the theoretical problems in question.
