The article is based on an idea that there are four different modes of understanding reality – practice, science, art and mysticism. Political liberalism demands separation of public and private beliefs. However, mystical understanding of reality is not a system of propositions and beliefs. This is why one can speak of a conflict between liberalism and mystical understanding of reality. Political liberalism imposes a certain understanding of reality on believers. Liberals propose to remove religious convictions from public life and not to treat them as a basis of politics. They forget that mystics have the biggest trouble namely with convictions. To turn the reality of God into words for them is always the hardest task. Mystics find God before words, concepts and discourses. Liberals reduce religion to convictions and demand from mystics to comprehend that, which in their opinion is not comprehensible. There is a tension between liberalism and people who have mystical experiences. Liberals narrow down religious experience to convictions. However, mystical experience is a much broader subject. Behind it stands an understanding of world that has its own standards of reality.

In this article the differences and relationship between male and female at work and in the family and their impact on career among the employees based on employers' attitudes are described. These three factors are analysed in relation to opportunities of reconciliation of work and family obligations for young families with small children.

The aim of the paper is to reconstruct and analyze Alvydas Jokubaitis's under-standing of politics. It is argued that Jokubaitis couples politics with morality in opposition to the liberal project of the autonomy of politics, which seeks to separate these two fields of human activity. According to Jokubaitis, politics is a realm of realization of the spiritual side of human nature. That is the reason why, through morality, he also tries to align poli-tics with other domains of human spirituality, such as religion and metaphysics. What is common to politics, morality, religion, and metaphysics is the sphere of normativity, i.e., that of purposes, principles, and imperatives. At the same time, Jokubaitis attacks those schools of modern thought which interpret politics as corresponding solely to the physical, animal side of human nature. In this regard, positivism and scientism are singled out as the crudest attempts to misconstrue the nature of politics. The paper is based on a convic-tion that the acknowledgement of the importance of morality allows one to piece together Jokubaitis's various considerations about the nature and distinctiveness of politics into a coherent whole.

The master's final work analyses how manifestation of multiculturalism is explained and what the elements of multiculturalism in Lithuanian education policy are. Nowadays the conditions of globalization are opening wider possibilities for the development of multiculturalism, for the dialogue of cultures and integration. For that reason every manifestation of multiculturalism in different societies of various countries is differently understood, consequently it influences various arising problems, discussions and their solutions in the political context. The concept of multiculturalism has become stronger not so long ago and it is obviously visible in some Lithuanian education political documents. Noticeably, that multiculturalism in Lithuania is perceived primitively and is rarely discussed manifestation. The studying object of this work is Lithuanian education policy in the context of multiculturalism. The framed hypothesis in this work claims that there is no consecutive multicultural policy in Lithuania as the education policy is formed in the context of nation – ethnic policy. The narrow-minded understanding of this concept hinders to imply the policy of multiculturalism in everyday life. The work seeks open and estimates the forms of manifestation of multiculturalism in Lithuanian education policy, to analyze its peculiarities and prospects. The objectives of this work are to observe the models of multiculturalism theory and compare them with Lithuanian and other countries experience, to open how ethnic culture is understood in Lithuania, to analyze the main law documents, identify the difference between political rhetoric and law situation. Analyzing the chosen topic the qualitative estimating analysis of education policy has been fulfilled. The research has proved the hypothesis that there is no consecutive multicultural policy in Lithuania as the education policy is formed in the context of nation – ethnic policy. As the result, the narrow-minded understanding of this concept hinders to imply the policy of multiculturalism in everyday life. This master's final work consists of two parts. The first part of the work deals with working concepts and the main law resources seeking to distinguish the peculiarities of multiculturalism. The perception of multiculturalism concepts is presented within the experience of the Western European countries. The second part gives the analysis of the qualitative research of the realization of Lithuanian education policy, the answers of the respondents are compared according to certain categories, the elements of multiculturalism within Lithuanian education policy and the spheres of the important issues are discussed with the general education statistical data. As well the comparative analysis of expert – scientist officials and expert teachers is presented. Finally, the fulfilled research data show how education policy in the context of multiculturalism is organized in Lithuania.
