Summary/Abstract: Roman Ingarden (1893–1970) was an eminent philosopher. His phenomenologicalresearch concerned, among others, two areas: the philosophy of literature and thetheory of literature. In particular, we shall analyse his book entitled O poznawaniudzieła literackiego (The Cognition of the Literary Work of Art). Ingarden concentrateson the specific qualities of the literary work (resp. literary work of art) and its perception.He deliberates, for instance, on the phenomena of temporal perspective in theconcretization of the literary work. The phenomena of temporal perspective appearin various forms (and in various modifications): on the one hand, in the representedtime, i.e., in the events and processes of the presented world of a literary work, and,on the other hand, also in the order of the sequence of its parts. To make it clearer,Ingarden gives, among others, several exemplifications from Joseph Conrad’s LordJim. Thus, this article is a concise analysis of an excerpt of the Ingarden’s book, and,simultaneously, an attempt to apply the concepts of phenomenology to a reading ofConrad’s novel.
