Summary/Abstract: The article examines the debates on the relationship between the national and the universal in Bulgarian culture that took place on the pages of humanitarian periodicals in the first half of the 20th century. Three distinct periods are examined, each with its own specific emphasis, showing the gradual development of nationalism in the desire for an original Bulgarian culture. The positions of those who advocate cultural self-sufficiency and those who advocate a balance between the national and the universal are presented. Special attention is paid to the concrete proposals of Bulgarian cultural achievements of that time – as examples of national originality.
