Summary/Abstract: The article deals with the reception of antique thought in Lithuanian postmodern thinking. According to the authors, the postmodern philosophy refers to antique thought both in positive and negative ways. On the one hand, the source of many postmodern ideas lies in Antiquity. On the other hand, postmodernity offten appeals to hermeneutics, destruction and deconstruction of antique thought. This one has distinctive characteristics in Lithuanian culture as a rim of the European cultural whole. Herewith postmodernity as a certain form of ecletism – that refers to multiculturality in the first ages after Christ – presupposes periferical and regional thinking including one in Lithuania.
