RELATIONSHIP OF THE ART OF WORD AND SCIENCE AS LITERATURE SYNTHESIS

Abstract

The purpose of the article is to investigate the issues of literary synthesis belonging to different spheres of humanities. Finding your own literary identity is a sign and a constant process. The debate on the new status and new quality of Ukrainian literature is not exhausted and is not over, but is breaking out with renewed vigor. Som e scholars provoke its development, others point to the repetitiveness of arguments, others advocate Ukrainian opportunism and call for an end to all literary disputes, since they distract the writer from the main thing – writing texts. It is proved that the idea of synthesis, its character and role in the science of literature is extremely blurred. Synthesis is explained by the notion of becoming a dynamic, open process, driven by the desire of art to approach the «true life». Synthesis results in organic unity, a complex integrity in which the correlation of part and whole emerges from the intrinsic objectivity of the object, from the «common» basis of the joined forms, which directs search and transformation. The study analyzes the views of literary critics on the consideration of fundamental synthesis studies in contemporary literature on science, which are refl ected in literary and critical practice.
