In this article, we will explore the main representatives of literature with philosophical generalizations and evolution preconditions for the emerging of the genre – philosophical prose. It is true that research about philosophical tendencies in contemporary American literature has progressed tremendously in the past two decades due to the advent and accessibility of new technologies and experiments that enable data sharing, analyzing and using for the future investigations. Consequently, it might be difficult to find a topic about which nothing is known or no literature is available. However, there is still a lot of scope for progress. Surely, we tried to do an effort while finding good and sufficient literature. Of course, making our research based only on literature, which already was thoroughly investigated, will not make our work more reliable. Therefore, when we made our research, we have noticed in the literature review that some novels of American literature with philosophical inclination are not included in scientists’ works of this aspect. For sure, in our collected data we have observed works that were written in the style of existentialism. In addition, we will include sufficient information about objectivism and other comparatively new literary trends.
