Reference excerpt

Romanas Plečkaitis (11 August 1933 – 17 August 2009 in Vilnius, Lithuania) was a Lithuanian philosopher, logic, philosophy, history researcher, Doctor habil, Professor. Romanas Plečkaitis translated the main Immanuel Kant works into Lithuanian language, wrote the history of Lithuanian philosophy and logic issues, published over 300 publications in various academic, has developed 27 PhDs.

Biography Although he finished The Kalvarijos Gymnasium, he was unable to continue onto higher education due to lack of funds. He became employed in a local newspaper as an editor. After a year he enrolled in what was then the Vilnius Pedagogical Institute, in which he studied logic and psychology. In 1956 having graduated with the highest honours, he became a lecturer at the institute, a post he retained until 1963. As a lecturer he gave a lot of attention to the improvement of the scientific qualification. Attention to philosophical ideas, encouraged him to organise a science doctorate dissertation. For the young scientist in the environment of the time, there were not particularly accommodating conditions for scientific exploration. Pleckaitis was largely influenced by his dissertation supervisor, a scientist and philosopher known throughout Europe- Vosylius Sezeman. He encouraged Pleckaitis to take an interest in the evolution of Lithuanian philosophy. Pleckaitis was particularly interested in scholastic logic. He based his doctorate dissertation on- "Scholastic logic and its decline in Lithuania" and became the founder of systematic investigation of history of Lithuanian philosophy. In the same year Pleckaitis began work in Vilnius university. In 1968 he completed a doctorate dissertation- "Philosophy in Lithuanian schools XVI-XVIII", in 1971 he became a professor. In 1975 the professor published "Philosophy of feudalism in Lithuania," which gained the state recognition award in 1977. In 1979 Pleckaitis was awarded the Lithuanian TSR 'nusipelnusio Mokslo veikejo' name of honour. From 1969 Pleckaitis also worked in the Lithuanian institute of philosophy and sociology. He was the head of this institute, and the head of history of Lithuanian philosophy from 1990 to 2003. He also worked in Vilnius University from 1991 to 2002.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Romanas Plečkaitis

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Romanas Plečkaitis claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In astronomy, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Romanas Plečkaitis before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Romanas Plečkaitis ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Romanas Plečkaitis

In research: Romanas Plečkaitis appears in astronomy research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Romanas Plečkaitis in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Romanas Plečkaitis is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1933 births, 2009 deaths, 20th-century Lithuanian philosophers, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Romanas Plečkaitis outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
