ФИЛОСОФСКАТА „ТЪГА И ПОРИВ“ (ЗА СБОРНИКА С ЕСЕТА НА АСЕН ИГНАТОВ „ТЪГА И ПОРИВ НА ЕПОХАТА“)

he paper analyzes the methodological approach of the Bulgarian philosopher Assen Ignatow toward the reality of socialist society in his book „Grief and Urge of Time“ (1968). The dichotomy between the ideal and the actual practice in society, between the Marxist philosophy and the dogmatic communist ideology, between the ideal man and the real man is emphasized. The differences and the continuities between philosophical ideas, developed in this book and in later important works of Ignatow, are analyzed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
