The study focuses on the concept of the lifeworld, which was developed by
representatives of phenomenological philosophy and philosophy of existentialism.
The lifeworld arises as a pre-scientific understanding of the world as a certain horizon
of knowledge, interrelationships and unifying meaning. Because such an
understanding is tied to subjective experience, it escapes scientific descriptions, that
explain the world mainly on the basis of objective facts. The aim of this study is to
explain why literary narratives can represent the lifeworld better than its scientific
interpretations. Fictional narratives can better capture the temporal, dynamic, but also
paradoxical nature of the world's understanding, so they reach the reader more deeply
and intimately. We define the process of reading as an activity associated with the
semiosis of the lifeworld, which has a fictional essence from a logical-ontological
point of view, but part of the reader's cooperation is also the updating of the real world
and personal experiences. Text strategies even take this into account and expect the
reader to understand the fictional world similarly to the real world.
