| Abstract [eng] |
A s it could be seen, two superschemas can be defined (ignoring the level of abstraction though) – one based on loosely called moral principles (different notions of justice and traditional value-loaded belief systems), and one based on rational evaluation of efficiency (both of these superstructures are found behind both issues: behind possibly more economic, efficient-related field of progressive taxes, and the traditionally more moral-related topic of abortion abolition). This empirical evidence could add to the more normative discussion on blurring lines between different principles marking specific political fields. Hence in this article the logic of arguments which leads to formation of specific positions on two policy issues in Lithuania is explored. Although this pilot research lacks representativeness and final list of cognitive schemas possible, it still not only registers main arguments on two issues, but also adds to deeper knowledge of the electorate, possible forecasts of political attitudes and, finally, may strengthen the ground for more meaningful communication between political elite and citizenry. |
