Šis darbas – tarpdiscipininė mokslinė monografija, skirta politinei minčiai Simono Daukanto istoriografijoje atskleisti, pasitelkiant naujovišką šios istoriografijos perskaitymą ir analizę. Simono Daukanto politinė mintis – itin aktuali mūsų dienomis, ypač „Lietuvos Herodoto“ požiūris į veiklaus individo ir tvarios politinės bendruomenės tarpusavio priklausomybę, jo suformuluota prigimtine teise ir teisingumu grįsto gero viešojo valdymo samprata. Simono Daukanto idėjas įdėmiai interpretuojant, jas galima ne tik laikyti reikšminga kultūrinio lituanistinio paveldo dalimi, o ir taikyti ugdant politinę kultūrą bei pilietinę savimonę šiandieninėje Lietuvoje. Monografijoje yra pirmąkart tokia apimtimi atskirai ir sistemingai nagrinėjama Simono Daukanto politinė mąstysena, atkuriant antikinės ir modernios politinės minties recepciją Simono Daukanto istoriografijoje.
Daukantas’ political thought largely belongs to the classical tradition of political thinking, where the former is not the individual and his rights, but the community and the moral-social foundations of its existence, understood as socio-political virtues or simply virtue (“virtus”). In his works on the history of Lithuania, writing about ancient Lithuanians as free and equal “from na ture”, Daukantas does not anachronistically transfer the advanced assessments of his time to the past, nor does he describe personal democratic views, but describes Lithuanian society at the be ginning of its history by using Greco-Roman analogies and relying upon the natural law theory. In Daukantas’ works, human nature is defined on the basis of the concept of the Stoics and Cicero, as a combination of rationality and sociality. Daukantas’ approach is in line with the key elements of Cicero, Grotius, and Pufendorf ’s doctrine of natural law: human nature is a combi nation of rationality and sociality; natural law is inseparable from the requirement and necessity of justice as a moral life by nature; natural law is the source of all other norms and branches of law; man is by nature free, and as such is the master of his actions; the power of the political community and international relations are based on natural law. Since all branches of law are related to natural law, and the latter is inseparable from morality, any rule of law or legal require ment must be based on morality. Daukantas distinguishes between two natures: physical and moral. The latter, in other words, “virtue”, is the essence of human nature in general. Daukantas understood virtue as consisting of several components, forms, or varieties, including, in particu lar, the four cardinal virtues known in ancient political thought: wisdom, courage, justice, and self-control.
