The problem of the inner world

Imagination is considered a counterpart of creative work in the article. An imaginative person exerts self-altering ontological effort with the consequences of such change resulting particularly in the appearance of the “world” which is regarded as “inner” in relation to the one who induces this change. Further on, two main functions of “the inner world” are studied: the character’s renunciation of the author and the isolation of the latter. Since the author’s aim consists in overcoming the metamorphozed condition, the problem of correlation of the poetic whole and the inner world is scrutinized with the question about the possible conditions under which the author can reach his goal. As a subject of the transformed-lingual or transformed-verbal existence, the author is supposed to become the subject matter of the philological cognition.
