Summary/Abstract: Analytic philosophy has never been a homogenous unity, but more a method of thinking that created a commonality of topics, types of philosophical questions and logic of affiliation to a discrete philosophical tradition. The reception of analytic philosophy in Bulgaria was mediated by several pivotal figures and events before and after1990. The paper analyses their contribution and the areas of philosophical investigations but also the reasons for its staggering growth and alienation as well as the shortcomings of the restraints and bias towards its ‘alleged’ theoretical minutiae of philosophical focus. Fuelled by the expansion and opening of university philosophy after 1990, though more from a history of philosophy perspective, it is far from the state of notifi ed end. It offers some of the most relevant lessons to be learned from philosophy in twentieth century that permeate with undeluded steadiness what constitutes philosophy in Bulgaria.
