Summary/Abstract: The article analyzes Slavic Philosophy by Dr. Petar Beron (1799-1871), a figure of the Bulgarian national revival who studied philosophy in Heidelberg and medicine in Munich. The book represents a lengthy introduction to his seven-volume Panepistemia, published in Paris in the 1860s. Although a work of philosophy, Slavic Philosophy pertains to the field of Naturphilosophie proper, and the ethnic aspect is present only in the title. It represents a naive attempt on the part of this Bulgarian thinker of the National Revival period “to surpass” the European achievements of his time in using an odd terminology that he constructed by himself on the basis of Greek models.
