The paper addresses the question of creating local meanings of notions related to the Western cultural paradigm in Bulgarian culture. The focus is on the ‘humanist’ notion, while the hermeneutic perspective is the ambiguous experience of modernization that is documented in various 19th–20th-century Bulgarian texts. It is argued that the local meaning of ‘humanist’ can be captured through the prism of the “outsider – enemy – citizen” semantic sequence, and the main reference point of this local meaning is Bulgarian discourse on knowledge and teaching that is founded on the traditions of the National Revival period. The question that is raised concerns the context in which the idea of a humanist appears in regard to Bulgarian culture, how it changes due to the local conditions, and, as such, what it can tell us about culture patterns that are typical of Bulgarian modernity
