Summary/Abstract: The article is an attempt to apply the game theory of Roger Caillois and Umberto Eco’s theory of intention to an analysis of the phenomenon of the canonisation of literature. In the game of intention, the temporary result of which is the literary canon, significant limitations are intentiooperis and literature’s tendency towards classics. The canonisation of literature recalls a form of game which Roger Caillos defined as alea.
