Summary/Abstract: The article attempts to analyze and deconstruct the very famous inquiry of Simeon Radev in the context of Bulgarian cultural and literary debates at the beginning of the XX century. The aim is to show how Radev’s argumentation utilizes and affirms the same dogmatic language which he rejects and thus to demonstrate the arbitrariness of the long lasting canonic image of Simeon Radev as a “liberator” of the Bulgarian literary field.
