Abstract

The paper focuses on the infinity of the creative thinking process and, at the same time, on the availability of different opinions and the human personal truths. For all that the most important intention for the antique sage Socrates was to draw into his «Socratic debate» the public at large including demotic people. The outstanding Norwegian dramatist expected from his spectators and readers independent suppositions about intentionally uncertain denouement in his plays. For the creative specialist in literature Mikhail Bakhtin «polyphony» (a great number of different personages in the fiction of F.M. Dostoevsky) was the argument for the impossibility to reach an understanding in the human society as well as to find the real truth, which is not supposed to be the purpose of the author.
