Unity has to strive for the wellbeing of the individuals, because without them,
it cannot be, and the individuals have to be aware that unity is the field where they
can exercise their abilities showing that they are better and more useful than others.
‘Without the phenomena ofthe other’ we would not have the opportunity of tasting the
pleasure of “better than’, “virtuous than’, and “wealthier than” etc. Competition could
also mean the harmony of creative activities within a single community." So we need
others and they need us as “the other” If we go the way of communism we eliminste
private property, yet we must not forget that what we have in common can survive
only, ifitis based on the private. Unity and peace represent a good opportunity forthe
different individuals to enlarge their properties. If there is no private property, there
‘cannot be common, a prosperous commonwealth is a something that serves powerful
and prosperous individuals. Existing differences have to be taken as the only present
treasury forthe better future. The one state philosophy has not to be considered as a
utopia that can never become a reality. The only thing to be done i, we have to change
the philosophy of its foundation. Instead of its present philosophy of the domination
cover the others, we have to transform it into the philosophy of the protection of our
unity, which is the product ofthe others, and we can never attain it without the others.
The word “we" would have no meaning without the “the others”, We need each other
as individuals, as families, as tribes, as religious groups, and as nations. The global
‘may remain as global only if ts main concerns are the localities. We must not forget
thatthe localities make up the global. “By acting on the local, one modifies the gloval
and by acting on the global one modifies the local. Holism and reductionism, or
slobal and local approach, are two aspects of one and the same multidimensional and
‘multireferentional world of complex plurality and of open unity We are diferent
as nations, diferent as religious groups, different as tribes, different as families and.
different as members inthe families. There are not even two identical individuals for
we all diferentiate ourselves from each other. We do not come up with diversities, but
we just find them existing somewhere, in some area, in nature. In this sense they ae
sven. Since we find them already existing in nature, naturally they have the right to
‘exist and live as they are and as they wish. I sin our intrest, when we meet people
different from us, to try to benefit from them as we find benefits in other natural
resources. Our different colors, languages and traditions are the result of our living.
under different natural conditions, Since these differences result from specific natural
conditions they become, therefore, also part of us. For these differences are also parts
‘of what makes us different. Let us try to preserve and protect our nature a its, with,
allits differences.

“The present paper attempts to draw a concise outline ofthe several routes taken by the
‘Bulgarian national movement during the better part ofthe 19* century, both in terms
of ideological expression and dynamic action, until the estblishment ofthe autono-
‘mous Bulgarian Principality in 1878, Its aim is to examine the dimensions and mul-
Lufaceted aspects of the national movement, and in so doing reveal that it comprised
different (at times conflicting) individual and collective initiatives, whose common,
denominator was to arouse Bulgarian national consciousness, The phenomenon gen-
erally referred to asthe Bulgarian revival/awakening evidently was not characterized
by homogeneity -not in its ideological components, and notin its aims and aspirations
‘or the means for their achievement. Hence, the multi-formity behind the implied ho-
mogeneity is focused on here with the intention to view the ssue from a new perspec-
tive, In addition, its parameters are examined in relation to the principles as wells the
actual face of Bulgarian nationalism.
THE TERM VAZRAZHDANE
Firstly, the multiple meanings that have been given to the term vazrazhdane (= revival)
awakening) in Bulgarian historiography will be looked at. This i the word that was
‘used in the phraseology adopted in the 19* century to describe the route of Bulgarian
national integration. It was congruent with the principles of nationalism in that it
implies that the ides of WaHon Bar Mew = existed, eit in a tent

—rentally, the expression Balgartkoto vazrazhdane (Bulgarian revival) became
established in historical terminology, however, it was not consistently employed by
historians in its literal sense but has taken on a variety of conceptual meanings. Most
commonly, itis conceived as a “nationalizing” process. In other words, Bagarskoto
sazrachdane isthe sum of all the procedures, actions and practices, which resulted
In the creation ofthe Bulgarian nation. Two other meanings, sometimes presented as
complementary and other times as separate areatached tothis interpretation. The one
places emphasis onthe intelectual-cultural elements and perceives it as atranstional
proces from the way the world was viewed in medieval tines tothe worldly positivist

spirit of modernism, while the other views it in the light of economic and social
restructuring more precisely the progression from feudalism to urban capitalism?
Furthermore, the Bulgarian Revival refers tothe period of Bugarian history during
‘which the above changes occurred* Although there is no consensus as tothe specifi
chronological duration, itis generally approximated as having taken place in the
Bulgarian terstoriesin the lt 100 years of Ottoman rule. There i genersl agreement
in the historiographical approaches that the main phase of national mobilization was in
‘the third decade ofthe 194 century. The stating point is considered tobe the Treaty of
‘Aavianople TH 1829 WHIER WAS Gtecly associated with a series cf reforms undertaken
‘by the Ottoman Empire. Asto when tends, some put itat 1870 with the establishment
of the Bulgarian Exarchate and othe 1676 th the Banding of the Bulgarian
Principality? Mention must also be made regarding those who contend thatthe onset
‘ofthe early stages ofthe Revival date back tothe beginning ofthe 17* century. The ist
Profesional Bulgarian historian, Marin Drinov connected the beginning ofthe Revival
with the composition ofSlavo-Bulgaran history in 1762 bf ie ilendar Monastery
monk, Pas In any cas, the year 1762 has become a milestone in Bulgarian history.
‘On the other hand, there are some researchers who support that he Revival continued
ast 1878, extending it either to the Hrstanct even the second World Wars
‘The emergence of Bulgarian national consciousness was triggered by the ideological
and political influences originating in western and central Europe, (ie. the French
Revolution, the Enlightenment, Nationalism, and Romanticism), as well as the
crucial socio-economic changes taking place in the Balkan provinces of the Ottoman
dominion. The growth of rade, as wells the appearance of an upcoming urban class
shook the foundations of traditional social and economic structures? Moreover, the
Russian influence, in particular Slavophilism and Pan-Slavism? in relation to the
