Fiction and Metaphysics - Cambridge Studies in Philosophy
Thomasson, Amie L. (Texas Tech University)
Argues that fiction has far-reaching implications for central problems of metaphysics. Develops an 'artifactual' theory of fiction, whereby fictional characters are abstract artifacts as ordinary as laws or symphonies or works of literature. Will interest philosophers concerned with metaphysics and the philosophy of language, and also those in literary theory.
