The present article comments on the idea of creating a concept of alter knowledge, which is generated outside the logical womb in the novels The Idiot by F.M. Dostoevsky and A Hero of Our Time by M. Lermontov. The main goal of the current article is to discover common narrative practices for creating similar ideational corpus of knowledge beyond the logical process of deduction, as well as finding a prototype of similar narrative practices for character creation. This is an attempt to comment on both novels through the idea of creating an ontology of Alter knowledge.
