Summary/Abstract: The “reciprocity” is an ethical and philosophical category revealing the embodied human intention for progress in the long historical development and could be considered as a process itself. Considering all its features this category could be figured as a leading pattern for our present world of globalization and multiculturalism. The Bulgarian culture was bred with the idea of “multiculturalism” from its beginning and was successful only when respecting the principle of reciprocity. The mission of the Sts Cyril and Metodij was a success namely as an expression of .reciprocity. but also as a pattern for .Europeanism. with long term consequences. The first Bulgarian “European” in institutional terms was Prof. Ivan Shishmanov who inherited all the proceeding messages of reciprocity of the significant spiritual leaders. He was among the first politicians - constructors of the “New Europe” after the IWW. “The reciprocal reciprocity” is a concept in accordance with the messages of all .Europeans. of the Bulgarian culture during the centuries who did not only measured their spiritual achievements only on the scale of the national or regional but the ones who acquired the philosophy that the reciprocity should not be only a wish, declaration, advertisement or privilege in the long process of gaining an intimate knowledge of one another but should be situated in a common and equivalent coordinating system. The reciprocity in the dreamt world of cultural unity should be reciprocal. This conscious view and approach is a condition for stability and long life of the legacy of the predecessors - Europeans about whom Prof Ivan Shishmanov talked in Vienna. The application of this view in spite of the political establishment is a historical test or the merited followers of Shishmanov.
