Abstract

This article deals with the issue of truth in literature by considering Roman Ingarden’s account. He denies that literary work as a work of art can be true in a logical sense. As a purely intentional object, a literary work of art decides nothing about a transcendent world. The truth in a literary work, however, can be understood as its revelation.
