Ницше и християнството в български прочит (първата половина на ХХ век)
Nietzsche and Christianity in Bulgarian reading (first half of the 20th century)

Summary/Abstract: The article is an attempt to trace the reception of one specific aspect of Nietzsche's ideas in the Bulgarian cultural space – his attitude towards Christianity, and, in particular, his differentiated attitude towards the personality of Jesus and that of the Apostle Paul, i.e. to the teaching and to the institution. The research is also motivated by the current interest in the significance of the work of the Apostle Paul on the part of prominent contemporary philosophers. Attention is focused on the fact that in the Bulgarian philosophical thought of the first half of the 20th century, two books appeared whose titles begin with the prefix anti – “Antichrist by Yanko Yanev (1926) and Anti-Nietzsche” (1931/1932) by Lyuben Kazandzhiev. The polemic surrounding Kazandzhiev's book shows the highly emotional attitude towards Nietzsche (respectively towards his attitude towards Christianity) among the Bulgarian intellectual circles of the first half of the XXth century.
