Summary/Abstract: In this work opposed attitudes of these two important artists about understanding the relation between art and reality are presented. Cernisevski, being close to positivism, believes that the main function af art is gnostic, so that its purpose is to reproduct reality, to find and establish truth, which brings art close to history. On the other hand, Laza Kostic denies science as possibility to understand beauty in art. The poet’s contest of positivism of the Russian poet, presented in his “Remarks on Aesthetic Relation of Skill Towards Nature“, found stronghold in unfounded and often contradictious claims of the Rissian poet.
