Abstract: Appeal to the reflection of philosophical meanings of the boundary between childhood and adulthood presented in fiction is conditioned by the understanding of literature as a non-specific form of philosophising, which it has acquired in the process of its historical formation. Appealing to the image as a tool of cognition, literature in a specifically sensual form, as well as in concepts, judgements and inferences constructs a philosophical understanding of the diversity of anthropological meanings, while expressing a value attitude to them. Sensual aspects of the image of the age boundary actualise aesthetic feelings, rational aspects, embedded in the means of modelling the images of the boundary, lead to the formation of concepts, judgments and inferences about its essence. In revealing the philosophical meanings of the boundary, the author’s stylistic specificity of the language of fiction is of particular importance. Hermeneutical difficulties to a certain extent find a resolution as a result of the complex application of linguophilosophical analysis, to the provisions of the philosophy of artistic creation, ontological and gnoseological data. The research methodology presented in this article and a number of other works of the author is in development, which implies further comprehension of historical, social, cultural aspects of representations of philosophical ideas in fiction.
