Mimesis as Make-Believe: On the Foundations of the Representational Arts
Kendall L. Walton
Representation—in visual arts and fiction—play an important part in our lives and culture.

Walton’s theory also provides solutions to thorny philosophical problems concerning the existence of fictitious beings.
