Summary/Abstract: Applying a semantic perspective, the article revolves around the questions of mutual relationships between philosophy and literature, pointing to a whole range of often contradictory views which see literature as both inferior and superior to philosophy since the former is often accused of generating imaginary worlds while the latter is seemingly verifiable through logic and truth-value. Both however, inevitably undergo a process of historical verification, which exposes not only differences between literature and philosophy but also a number of similarities resulting from various ways of appropriating otherness and an irreducible narrative components permeating their very semantic structures.
