This collection of studies, inspired by John Searle’s work, explores a wide spectrum of philosophical concepts and their application in literary studies. The authors, while drawing from Searle’s ideas, present their independent interpretations, demonstrating the dynamic interplay between philosophy and literature. The monograph is inspired primarily by the work of John Searle, particularly his books The Construction of Social Reality, Speech Acts, and the essay The Logical Status of Fictional Discourse. These starting points form the basis for reflections that often compare Searle's theories with other important theoretical views, such as those of Jacques Derrida and Donald Davidson. Roman Ingarden's concept and his reflection on the indeterminacy of literary texts also come into play. The book presents several approaches inspired by Searle's work, in particular studies dealing with the definition of the boundary between fiction and non-fiction, literature as a system of institutions, and literary text as a source of expression and illocutionary acts.
