Abstract: The method of disclosing a world depends on the stage of development of mentality, the perception of reality and on the possibilities of meaningful connection that dominate in the model of world order. Currently the causal link is countered by further differentiation of the scientific fields and their networking through interdisciplinary cooperation to explain the phenomena. Regardless of whether it is cooperation between different disciplines in relation to common questions, or the convergence of different views in order to investigate a cultural object, in our case a fictional text, the complementarity of approaches must be recognised. The novel the Monkey Link: A Pilgrimage Novel by Andrei Bitov corresponds with the beginning of the new stage of mentality development and with the scientific epistemological model of synergetics, using the narrative strategy of dialogical agreement, which produces a new narrative style that still needs to be analytically grasped.
