Summary/Abstract: The aim of the paper is twofold. First, to present and analyze a phenomenon introduced by J. L. Synge half a century ago, and dubbed by him the Pygmalion syndrome. The latter is discussed with regard to contemporary non-classical scientific knowledge. And second, to defend the claim that the Pygmalion syndrome may be seen as a specific epistemological horizon for non-classical quantum-cosmological theories.
