Seminars: Plato’s „Fedon“ (2010-2011) - Vol. 2

2019

The book includes 14 seminar presentations of Prof. Bogdan Bogdanov which took place in 2010 and 2011 at New Bulgarian University. Their main topic is about literature, understanding and interpretation of the Plato’s „Fedon“ dialogue. The texts demonstrate the power of the public speech of Prof. Bogdanov, noticed long ago by the students during his legendary seminars at Sofia University in the 70-ties and 80-ties of the previous century. Exactly in this part of the seminar Prof. Bogdanov reveals his favorite segment from Plato’s dialogues as well as a series of topics which are still important in our times. „And here, at the end of this explanation is the notable sentence in the complete works of Plato. The complete works of Plato! Yes, I do call it notable and I’ll explain why. Everyone could like whatsoever, but I’ll tell you why I do like this segment and it became my motto. And this is my motto. I have taken it exactly from „Fedon“. I have never seen it before anywhere. And that is as follows („Fedon“, 115e): „When something is not nominated correctly, the mistake does not concern only the language. It brings some harm to the souls as well.“ That’s why I’m so persistent in nominating. Yes, it is difficult in fact to nominate, the nomination is incredibly capable to spoil not only any moment, but also our whole life.“

Seminars. Literature, Text and Understanding (2009-2010). Vol. 1

2018

The book presents 14 seminar talks given by Professor Bogdan Bogdanov in 2009 and 2010 at the New Bulgarian University, where he tackles issues connected with literature, understanding and provides commentaries of Homer’s “Odyssey”, Borges’ “Death and the Compass”, Longus’s “Daphnis and Chloe”. The texts adequately represent the fluency of the professor’s speech noted by his students at his legendary seminar at Sofia University in the 70s and 80s. As a recurrent leitmotif, in addition to the literary commentaries and their strong link to modernity and self-awareness the theme of love resurfaces. That is why love words abound in the lectures: “What we call feelings are, in effect, states of making sense of things without discerning details. At the same time, I propose here a way to discriminate between thinking and feeling, just like we are used to do this on a daily basis and in general. This is how I like to talk about literature”, says Professor Bogdanov.

Just like the actual text, which presents a fulfilled situation of veracity, which coincides with a situation of comprehension that also took place, all cases of understanding are situations of veracity, in which more comprehending subjects take part. While all of them understand what they can both by taking part in the creation of the situations themselves, and of their specific world-or background, and of themselves, indeed.”, writes the author.

Narrative, time and reality in Ancient Greek literature
2012, Zhanet 45 Publishing

Literature is not much different from thinking. However it makes you think by superimposing and alternating different forms of showing-presenting. In numerous cases this is better than the shorter ordinary, scientific and philosophical way of expression. This is also the reason for my respect for literature; nevertheless I also have respect for the ordinary everyday speech. As a result of my respect for both of these forms of expression, is the particular moderate speech used in this book, which I called diatribe speech. I moderately analyzed the main subject of the narrative by limiting myself to its two manifestations – as a plot story and as a narrative. Because of the so called diatribe speech, I did not pay attention to the other forms of the narrative that one may come across. The diatribe speech also kept reminding me that a narration is as much a literary subject as it is a nonliterary subject. The everyday way of speaking does not differentiate words, but rather compares, likens and collects synonymous titles, without specifying their meaning.

The book is part of the ONOMA collection of the Spanish publishing house AXAC and includes a Spanish translation of the following texts by Professor Bogdanov: "Reading and its Functioning", " Myth, Philosophy and Science, or on the Symbolic and Analytical Comprehension", "The Poor story of the Victor. Pindar’s Eighth Nemean Victory Ode", " Love, family and power. The story of Xerxes’ love in Book 9 of Herodotus’ Histories", " Love and narrative. The ideology of love in Plato’s dialogues «Symposium» and «Phaedrus»", "Saint Augustine and Mark Aurelius, or on talking to oneself", " On Ancient Greek literature, literature and the understanding of literary texts". In the preface "Bogdan Bogdanov – a European Intellectual", the Spanish Professor, an expert on Plato – Gregorio Luri Medrano - states: "When Bogdanov insists on the necessity for «elementary everyday respect for the written text», he does not do it as an antiquarian or a collector. He is not interested in the pure amassing of knowledge (olimathía), but in the continuity in the big dialogue between the present – with all its hidden problems – and the past, – whose fecundity is renewed by our questions. In the big texts of the ancient Greeks Bogdanov is searching for a significant and meaningful perspective of the present, which will help us to gain better knowledge of ourselves”.

Past and Modernity. Academic essays

2010

The book marks the beginning of the series “Concepts, issues, discussions“, in which academics from New Bulgarian University and authors from abroad, connected to the University, will defend a specific modern knowledge platform. This first book includes 22 academic essays, presented and written on different occasions in the last 15 years, united by the topic “Past and Modernity“. With the exception of two texts, all essays in the book originated in oral presentations, which were then written down. Their written version, however, has preserved the broad characteristics of the initial oral presentation – the discussion of more themes under the aegis of one central theme and the rhetoric of persuading a specific addressee. This is where the message of the “Academic essays” lies– one discussed truth comprises of more types of truth, among which of special predominance if the so-called situational truth of persuading a specific audience. Because it does matter in front of whom and for whom something is stated, and stated in this particular manner.
