Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to present the interpretation of the Bulgarian philosopher Alexander Kanev – one of the most serious researchers of Wittgenstein in Bulgaria – on the relationship between philosophy and science in Wittgenstein’s philosophy. A particular emphasis is placed on the problem of the legitimization of philosophy in the context of the growing influence of the sciences. In this connection is posed the question if Wittgenstein's pessimistic vision of the future of philosophy is justified or not and demonstrated how Kanev manages to argue the need for philosophy today and in the future.
