The purpose of the study is to explore the gnoseological aspect of Anton Chekhov’s art world conceptual sphere, specifically the disconnect between reality and human perception. The research is grounded in theoretical works on the gnoseological nature of creativity and scientific works on Chekhov’s artistic philosophy. The literary analysis focuses on Chekhov’s works from the 1880s to 1890s. It is stated that Chekhov’s conceptosphere of fiction delves into the existential experiences of individuals, which can either reinforce or erode their belief in positive change of their destinies. The authors demonstrate that Chekhov skillfully portrays the scholastic consciousness imposed on individuals by society, as well as the consequences of erroneous consciousness resulting from dramatic circumstances and leading to fatal tragic consequences. Chekhov’s prose avoids excessive melodrama while maintaining an engaging narrative structure and style. It is revealed that the conceptosphere of Chekhov’s art world doesn’t contain the image of ideal hero, but is based on the position of gnoseological optimism, which lies in the fact that the world can still be cognized, and the discovery of its laws is an infinite trajectory of human knowledge.
