Summary/Abstract: The article uses the theory of interpretative hermeneutics and looks into the question of the boundaries between science and art. Such collision of the boundaries is noticed in the romantic hermeneutics of the 19th century’s. The article considers even a stronger friction of the boundaries between science and art in the 20th century in ontological hermeneutics due to the shift in the trinary of the perciever, the text, and the author, when the attention moves to the text, which opens the surplus of meaning. This surplus is related to the attempt to reach centrepetal interpretative truth that integrally unifies hermeneutic philosophy and art – fiction literature. The article considers philosophy becoming art like, when the philosophical „essense“ is expressed with more precision by literary language; and likewise art becomes philosophical, when the literary language discloses itself in relation with the „essence“ of hermeneutical philosophy. Also the article analyses how philosophy and art are interwoven in postmodern hermeneutics, where it acquires a different meaning, because it no longer strives at centrepetal truth.
