ENDespite philosopher, publicist and politician, Romualdas Ozolas' (1939-2015) considerable merits to the State of Lithuania and his rich and profound philosophical, cultural, and political legacy, he still remains inadequately appreciated and his works inadequately read. Recent geopolitical changes and increasingly evident boundaries of global development have brought to the fore, decade-old or even older Ozolas' insights. The threat of global-ism, the preservation of the foundations of European unity, its identity and historical memory, the problems of transforming people into a resource and displacement issues, which up until now did not exist in the minds of many, are evident today. Ozolas' philosophy of "the world returning home" has become a reliable point of resistance for the contemporary world. The article looks back at the origins of Ozolas' philosophy of "returning home" and the "postulates" that lent his theory and practice a sense of certainty. [From the publication]
