In this book, Bradley Armour-Garb and James A. Woodbridge
distinguish various species of fictionalism, locating and defending
their own version of philosophical fictionalism. Addressing
semantic and philosophical puzzles that arise from ordinary
language, they consider such issues as the problem of non-being,
plural identity claims, mental-attitude ascriptions, meaning
attributions, and truth-talk. They consider 'deflationism about
truth', explaining why deflationists should be fictionalists, and
show how their philosophical fictionalist account of truth-talk
underwrites a dissolution of the Liar Paradox and its kin. They
further explore the semantic notions of reference and
predicate-satisfaction, showing how philosophical fictionalism can
also resolve puzzles that these notions appear to present. Their
critical examination of fictionalist approaches in philosophy,
together with the development and application of their own brand of
philosophical fictionalism, will be of great interest to scholars
and upper-level students of philosophy of language, metaphysics,
philosophical logic, philosophy of mind, epistemology, and
linguistics.
