Fikcja i troska

Abstract

The essay deals with the question of fictionality from the Heideggerian- -Derridian point of view. A text is looked upon as the border situation and the distinction is drawn between moments of fictionality in literary and non-demonstrate two approaches towards fiction: one qualifying it as morally and -literary texts. Then, writings of St. Augustine and Cervantes were used to metaphysically suspect, the other as constitutive of the external reality. Vaihinger’s philosophy of „As o f” is discussed in the last section of the essay which determines fictionality as the sphere of cognitive twilight („epistemological chiaroscuro”), belief in error as a vital form of production and the area exposed with varied intensity to the activity of what Heidegger calls „solicitude” (Sorge).
