| Abstract: | The translation presents Blaustein’s examination of Ingarden’s ontological theory of literary works as developed in Das literarische Kunstwerk (1931). Literary works are analyzed as four-strata structures comprising linguistic sound formations, meaning units, represented objects, and schematized aspects. They are characterized as purely intentional creations with non-independent beings, founded on ideal concepts and subjective operations. The review examines how readers achieve an understanding of literary works and gain access to their ontological foundations. Blaustein discusses epistemological concerns about the accessibility of ideal concepts to readers and addresses the multiplication of metaphysical entities. An alternative approach based on linguistic directives and sentence systems is presented, in order to preserve intersubjective identity without metaphysical commitments. The study discusses Ingarden’s approach to literary theory, particularly with respect to the multi-stratal structure of literary works, and examines the underlying ontological assumptions. |
