Summary/Abstract: This article, a focal part of a large-scale comparative study on the animalistic works of Emiliyan Stanev and Heidegger’s late philosoph, unfolds a three-phase dialectical plot derived from a confession of the Bulgarian writer-animalist that serves as the title of this article. Stanev’s moral dilemma is projected into a broad cultural-historical-philosophical context through psychoanalytic theory (Freud–Jung), in which art, which has replaced religion, is assigned a therapeutic role.
