This article is an introduction to a moderately sized study on Spiridon Kazandjieva and Pencho Slaveykov. The author presents a picture of the times in which Kazandjiev lived – times of modernization of Bulgarian literature and culture – and his philosophical views, reflected most comprehensively in his essay “At the Spring of Life” (1923), which was introductory to his eponymous book published in 1937. The philosophical and literary quality of this essay has been insufficiently appreciated; in it, Kazandjiev, influenced by Nietzsche, points out the relativity of knowledge, art, attitudes, public life, thereby anticipating what has emerged in recent decades as a post-modern, or post-metaphysical, philosophy. As for the history of literature, the essay in question is, on the one hand, the foundation and, on the other, the horizon, of Kazandjiev’s philosophical views. Referring to it, we can more easily, and in a well-argued manner, clarify his analyses of Pencho Slaveykov’s philosophical constructions.

(Рецензия на „Модерният мимесис: Саморефлексията в литературата“ на Камелия Спасова, 2021)
Modern Mimesis: Self-Reflexivity in Literature is a passionate defence of philology that traverses the distances from Ancient Hellas to present-day Japan, from Ulysses to robots. This movement follows a logic described by the author as reconceptualization, and creates conceptual nodes configured through horizontal and vertical, temporal and spatial self-reflexive reduplications. The broad arc from the libraries of Alexandria and Pergamum to the mimetic valleys of robotics thus turns out to be underpinned by the reconceptualization of the ancient dispute between ‘analogy’ and ‘anomaly’, turning any attempt at ordering into an ‘endless series of rearrangements’.

From the viewpoint of the authors under consideration, the street is seen and experienced as a topos of crisis, of revelations, but also of secrets, of apocalyptic visions revealed primarily in the depths of affect, but also through morbid expressionistic reflection; visions that seem to come together and unite within hypnotic prophecies...

Civilization complex processes of human development forming a global paradigm cultural environment. Sometimes it leads to leveling the spiritual and aesthetic diversity in culture. There is a diversity of concepts and standardization at the same time. Against this background, establish understanding of the need for cultural and historical processes and their implementation in some new creative constants. The result is the kind context that matches the culture of human existence. This provides opportunities to apply concepts cultural-creativity as existential and contextual self-determination rights of human. Cultural-creative process gets spiritually and aesthetically defined form in the specific kind of arts. It is in this philosophical and cultural aspects in the article studies the views of Friedrich Nietzsche to the importance of the spirit of music in the cultural-creative being. Considering art as a form of expression of the culture of creativity of the human being, Nietzsche drew attention tothe irrational part of the cultural and historical processes. In the cognitive process the science completes its search for truth like the rational and logical form of this truth. At the same time, art has aesthetic, artistic and original creative form of the first idea. Science and art are in different layers of culture creative process: the first tending – to discourse, another – to the aesthetic. The art Nietzsche understood as being aesthetic form and artistic for explication will to power. He singled out the Apollonian and Dionysian principles of formation and functioning of Arts. The spirit of art appears as merging art and nature, art in its aesthetic significance and crafts, art of life and the will to power. The result was the culture creation – material reality as an imitation of world of ideas and the world of ideas as mimesis, reproduction Logos and Cosmos. The real creative work is accompanied by a rejection of individuality. Composer creates a form, the content directed to an ideal state. After achieving this result is to power beyond his, the only eternally cultural creativity natural forces which dominate the world. In his discussion the spirit of culture Nietzsche emphasizes the unique role of music in culture-creativity existence. Music stands beyond any comparison, but all in culture compared with music. Thus, the musical culture ethos associated with the fact that, according to Nietzsche, music can become a reflection of this reality, where there is an implicit harmony Apollonian and Dionysian principle. The Spirit of Music transmits the actual harmony of time – true feelings in opposite over conventional enemy, any artificial exclusion and any misunderstanding of man by man. In this context, the cultural spirit of music is an abstraction, deliberately devoid of any kind verbal or conceptual nature. Music has a logical composition form, but not illustrates the picture of historical process. Music has immanent features of particular object or event. The spirit of music hasn’t a discursive potential or reaction, its unconscious emotional expression of the inner essence of the world, volitional quintessence of life. This conceptual framework Nietzsche formed the concept of "the spirit of music" as a general and universal content being which determines any phenomenon, but the meaning of which in principle cannot convey the other kind of arts. The essence culture-creativity of this is that "the joy of existence" we must look for not in the phenomena. Musical story can to show thousands variants of events, images and stories which reflect just one facet of historical content and emotionally individualize it. This allows the recipient is not interpreted through plastic images of the world through music in general, but only certain events with certain characters. So music is a metaphysical fundamental of the world, the will to power. The image itself will not display specific events in the world. The musical product created within the cultural traditions and recognizes successful only if through it is "visible" enough of this tradition and cultural heritage. Unity of music culture of the creative process – is the most insightful play "structure" spiritual events of historical time. It is known that cultural – creative has deep anthropological principles, which to some extent reflect the evolution and development of man, with its ethnic and cultural characteristics humanitarian specifications. This provides opportunities to assume that the spirit of music is particularly important in the processes of cultural-creative and accordance with the socio-cultural of being in a cultural and historical continuum.
