This challenging study places fiction squarely at the center of the
discussion of metaphysics. Philosophers have traditionally treated
fiction as involving a set of narrow problems in logic or the
philosophy of language. By contrast Amie Thomasson argues that
fiction has far-reaching implications for central problems of
metaphysics. The book develops an "artifactual" theory of fiction,
whereby fictional characters are abstract artifacts as ordinary as
laws or symphonies or works of literature. In taking seriously the
work of literary scholars and in citing a wide range of literary
examples, this book will interest not only philosophers concerned
with metaphysics and the philosophy of language, but also those in
literary theory interested in these foundational issues.
