In the study of literature, there is a fact that L. Tolstoy severely criticizes Shakespeare's works. The article proposed and substantiated the structure of the artistic paradigm with the categorical apparatus of the philosophy of science, and revealed the artistic, socio-philosophical and methodological grounds for classifying the works of Tolstoy and Shakespeare to different artistic paradigms. The lack of understanding of Shakespeare's works and his significance in the world literature is explained by the unconscious clash of different literary paradigms in Tolstoy's mind.
