When it comes to the question of objectivity in current
philosophical debates, there is a growing prominence of two
opposite approaches: nominalism and realism. By absolutising
intersubjectivity, the nominalist approach is moving towards the
abandonment of the very notion of truth and objective reality. For
its part, the realist approach insists on the category of the
object-in-itself as irreducible to any kind of subjective
mediation. Despite their seeming mutual exclusiveness, both
approaches share a fundamental presupposition, namely, that of a
neat separation between the spheres of subjectivity and objectivity
as well as between fiction and truth. This collection offers a
rethinking of the relationship between objectivity and fiction
through engaging with a series of 'objective fictions', including
such topics as fetishes, semblances, lies, rumours, sophistry,
fantasies and conspiracy theories. It does so through engagement
with modern and contemporary philosophical traditions and
psychoanalytic theory, with all of these orientations being
irreducible to either nominalist or realist approaches.
