Summary/Abstract: The article analyses the spread of Dovydaitis' philosophy among Lithuanian readers at the beginning of the 20th century. He helps Lithuanians to get acquainted with a broad scope of thinking, starting with ancient Greek philosophy, through Classical and modern philosophy, up to the most recent thinking of his time. Dovydaitis devotes many articles to various thinkers, enters into polemics with them, and analyses actual philosophical topics. He calls his own philosophy neo-Scholasticism, and usually adopts the ideas of Christian thinkers. Though his criticism of the neo-Kantian, so-called philosophy of life and phenomenological philosophy is not always correct, he presents interesting, albeit often strange, introductions to their problematics.
