The paper focuses on the issues of philosophical foundations of science policy theoreticians, experts and educators. These persons eagerly contain human prosperity within a (quasi)scientific agenda. The paper contends that this universal techno-scientific approach is not directly connected with and owes very little to the socio-political arrangements of certain governments or agencies. Therefore, the claim that societal challenges ought to be dealt with scientifically should be separated from the claim that the techno-scientific problem-solving is the only virtuous way to human enhancement. Consequently, the issues of scientific autonomy and representationist and nonrepresentationist paradigms of scientific knowledge are considered and their brief conceptual assessment is proposed.

Constitutional Foundations of Taxation: A Historical Analysis The constitutional bases of taxes are expressis verbis enshrined in Clause 15 of Article 67 of the Constitution of the Republic of Lithuania (the Seimas establishes state taxes and other obligatory payments), Part 2 of Article 127 (state budget revenues are formed from taxes, obligatory payments, fees, revenues from state property and other revenues) and Part 3 of Article 127 (taxes, other contributions to budgets and fees are established by the laws of the Republic of Lithuania). This Master's thesis analyzes the constitutional bases of taxes enshrined in the Constitution of the State of Lithuania of 1922, the Constitution of the State of Lithuania of 1928, the Constitution of Lithuania of 1938 and the Constitution of the Republic of Lithuania of 1992 and the interpretation of these bases in the jurisprudence of the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Lithuania. The first part examines the provisions regulating the tax institute enshrined in the historical Constitutions of the State of Lithuania (in the Constitution of the State of Lithuania of 1922, the Constitution of the State of Lithuania of 1928 and the Constitution of Lithuania of 1938), reveals the historical and political circumstances of the adoption of these Constitutions that influenced the adoption of these provisions. The second part analyzes the tax bases enshrined in the Constitution of the Republic of Lithuania of 1992, based on the doctrine of the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Lithuania analyzes the interpretation of the term "taxes" and the content of constitutional principles inseparable from the tax institute. In the third part of the Master's thesis, the main attention is paid to the analysis and historical development of the rulings of the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Lithuania, which examined the compliance of Lithuanian legal acts with the constitutional bases of taxes.

Further on, the article deals with the interrelation between individual and general attributes of interest in law. The author claims that the category of public interest means not only quantity, but also quality. Therefore, a subject of public interest is not the only element that describes the category under investigation. Interests of individuals, the whole society and the state must be in accord with each other. In a democratic state, a compromise should be found between the interests of all subjects, because an individual, the society and the state are values for each other, their interests depend on and influence the development of every subject. A violation of the interests of one subject automatically causes a violation of the interests of another subject; in this situation neither a consecutive development of all earlier mentioned subjects is possible nor a common welfare can be achieved. The fourth chapter of the article deals with the object of public interest. By analyzing the introductory part of the Constitution of the Republic of Lithuania, decisions of the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Lithuania and the Supreme Administrative Court of Lithuania, the author states that objects of public interest are goods and values that are embedded in norms and principles of the Constitution of the Republic of Lithuania. The author stresses that the main and the greatest value and, therefore, the main object of public interest is the human and his rights.

In Lithuania at the end of the XX century the doctrine of juridical positivism was substituted to the sociological concept of law. The object of the science of law history was substantially extended. Law history was substituted to the history of legal system. The concept of the law history of the West and the formalion of the Western legal tradition, proposed by H. J. Berman, became the basis of the science of law history in Lithuania. Was created the pluralistic and nonconflict model of the legal system of the Great Duchy of Lithuania as the prototype of the legal system of the European Union. Because the existing paradigm of law gradually grows antiquated, has already been created the new paradigm, in which are combined the elements of the social sciences and humanities, physics, biochemistry and the technological sciences. In this year the Institute of the law history of the Law faculty of Vilnius university proposed the new theme of the postgraduate studies – "Law and scientific progress". This theme completely corresponds to the policy of Vilnius university and will be coordinated with the reforms, which now are achieved at the university.

The aim of the research is to substantiate the methodological foundations of empirical research by revealing the concept of the expression of dimensions of smartness in cultural management. The article formulates theoretical construct based on expression of smartness dimensions in cultural management. This construct is formulating by combining cultural management and smart governance concepts and closely linking cultural management with the implementation of cultural policy and seeing the specifics of smart cultural management. The expression of smartness dimensions at culture management model consist of six main dimensions: strategics, creative development, harmonization of interests in the cultural sector, empowered cultural sector parties, harmony of intellectual and technological capital, the culture of shared value creation. Methodology strategy is based on two philosophical approaches by combining induction and deduction which result is abduction approach. Qualitative analysis was performed of theoretical sources of foreign countries and Lithuania. Another part of qualitative research is based on the interviewing chosen respondents to get information about the expression of smartness dimensions at culture management model functioning. There would be chosen about 30 experts (till data saturation) by using quadruple helix. Experts are chosen from government, science, business and nongovernmental organizations' sphere. Gained results let to form research results conception which consists of three parts: theoretical model, current situation model, perspective situation model. The trajectory of the change from the current situation model to the perspective situation model helps to highlight the areas requiring improvement of the functioning of the cultural field, planned directions (trends) of change. In future research, it is planned to form the indicators for all 6 theoretical dimensions of the expression of smartness dimensions at culture management model. Analysis based on this theoretical model also will ...
