The article considers the concept of human reality as a complex of philosophical,
moral and aesthetic ideas formed and developed in the novels by W. Golding, I. Murdoch and C. Wilson of 1950-s and 1960-s. Since the first insights into the subject matter brought out a vast network of its background connections and internal patterns, further research was based on systematic approach, that is, on modelling the consolidated paradigm of the philosophical novels written by the three authors. The analytical study of the concept in question at different levels of
the paradigm enables to identify its ontological, ethical and aesthetic components as related to modern preconditions and postmodern condition of contemporary culture.
