Abstract: In this study, the condition of Lithuanian philosophy after 1989 was 
analyzed. The attention is focused on the question whether any philosophical 
tradition(s) and/or school(s) have originated during the last 20 years. The 
object of the research was Lithuanian academic philosophical journals: 
Problemos, Filosofija. Sociologija and Logos. The chronological scope: articles 
published during the period 1989-2009. The major objective of the inquiry is to 
reveal and figure out citation and communication strategies in the discourse of 
Lithuanian academic philosophy and to identify the existence of philosophical 
tradition (school), if any. The major concern can be summarized by the 
following questions: what is the frequency of the colleagues' citation? Are 
Lithuanian philosophers' citation strategies sufficient to claim the fact of the 
existence of Lithuanian philosophical tradition (school)? What are the most 
influential Lithuanian philosophers and philosophical texts?
