Summary/Abstract: The foundation of this text is the hermeneutical horizon of the philosophy of history, and, precisely, the philosophy of macedonian history. The author examines the possibility for postulating a nexus between the historical and political thought of Krste Petkov Misirkov and the philosophy of freedom of german idealistic philosopher F. W. J. Schelling. However, the whole horizon of german idealistic philosophy takes place in this essay. The conceptualization of macedonism in Misirkov’s book from 1903 “On macedonian matters” is understood in the terms of Scheling’s philosophy of apsolute being and the human being, such as history of selfrevelation, potentia, indifferentia, differentia, the imannence of self-conciousness, philosophy of freedom. Misirkov’s historical thinking is deeply philosophical in its essence, and it provides concepts for self-constitution of macedonian self as act of freedom and selfdetermination.
