Summary/Abstract: There is a lot of talk about the identity of humanitarians in recent times. The intent to return to this topic is simple: the humanities would like to perceive themselves and explain to others what enables us to talk about the Lithuanian nation and what is essential to Lithuanianness. It would be hard to find a topic that is more controversial than this one. Already the intentions themselves are doubly emotional. Even if the humanities would be able to say something important about the nation and its identity, what do they listen to in these days? On the other hand, by radically changing the point of view, one should conclude that on such fundamental topics as the identity of a human being or a nation, it is only humanitarian and insatiable.
