Reflections on the Native in Bulgarian Humanities from the First Half of the Twentieth Century

Keywords: homeland; native; Bulgarian humanities; native and foreign

Summary/Abstract: The article explores the presence of the concept of homeland and native in Bulgarian humanities from the first half of the twentieth century. The terms homeland and patriotism are considered as emblems for the interwar period in Bulgaria, as concepts that seek to consolidate national energies. The ambition of the text is to highlight the philosophical aspects in the various reflections on the subject at the time. Initially, an analysis of the concept of homeland is proposed, after which two types of reasoning of authors from the first half of the century are distinguished. The ideas of Dimo Kyorchev and Yanko Yanev, and of Atanas Iliev and Konstantin Galabov are commented – as an attempt for a metaphysics of the homeland, and as seeking a synthesis between native and foreign.
