Loreta Anilionytė

Loreta Anilionytė (born in Kaunas) is a Lithuanian philosopher, writer and translator. She is an associate Professor of Ethics and Philosophy of the Lithuanian University of Educology and a Ph.D.  of Lithuanian Culture Research Institute (formerly of Philosophy, Sociology and Law Institute). She graduated from Vilnius University, Lithuanian language and literature. In 1991 she received her Ph.D. in history of German philosophy and ethics ("The Problem of Values in Kant and Scheler ethics"). There are many published works including scientific articles and books, a novel, and essays, in her bibliography.

Anilionytė is the author of a highly controversial novel about the relationship between high culture and popular culture O kas po to? (And what then?). The novel is characterized by a mix of eroticism, philosophical ponderings on the human condition and psychological insight, social criticism and cold descriptions of moral failures. The prototype of this novel is a famous Lithuanian pop singer, Edmundas Kučinskas. Anilionytė is outstanding among other Lithuanian writers for her ironic, provocative writing style. She has been awarded some important literature prizes. She received the 2006 Cosmopolitan magazine "Discovery of the Year" award for the novel.

She has translated many works by well-known German philosophers into Lithuanian. She was awarded the Franz Dovydaitis Prize in 2005.
