The article researches the main milestones in the development neo-scholastic tradition within the Belarusian religious and philosophical thought, the basic facts of life and creative ways of its representatives. Neo-scholastic tradition in Belarus has deep roots and a rich history. It is possible to identify two periods in its framework: Polack period and Druja period. The ideas, which had the basic positions for the philosophical direction of the first period, are present also in the second, it shows the continuity of principles.
