Abstract
This study begins with the ascertainment that within the comparatively short history of modern philosophical culture in Bulgaria, there are enough grounds to distinguish several relatively independent periods, each with its specific stages. Each of these periods deserves serious analysis. But the study of the history of modern Bulgarian philosophy has to be based on clear methodological premises. When we explain the phenomena and processes of philosophical life in this country, we proceed from the concept of philosophical culture, understood as a complex system incorporating both elements of ideal nature and of non-ideal character. All factors of socio-cultural nature in the lives of the professional philosophers – activities, institutions of knowledge, body of philosophers, formal and non-formal organizations, forums of philosophers and philosophical press – are specified by the term philosophical publicity. Using this term makes it possible to carry out a phenomenological analysis of the different manifestations of philosophy outside its stratum of intrinsic ideas.
