The author critically discusses the theses about the relation between literature and politics which were presented in Vojislav Stanovčić’s work ′A Contribution of the Historical and Literary Works to the Understanding of Political Phenomena′. The first part points to the basic concepts of knowledge, symbols, notions, truth, literature and politics. The second part includes the experimental analysis of the relation between literature and politics. The conclusion underlines the claim that there is no general knowledge about the link between literature and politics and that every specific relation should be discussed separately.
