Counterfactuality is currently a hotly debated topic. While for
some disciplines such as linguistics, cognitive science, or
psychology counterfactual scenarios have been an important object
of study for quite a while, counterfactual thinking has in recent
years emerged as a method of study for other disciplines, most
notably the social sciences. This volume provides an overview of
the current definitions and uses of the concept of
counterfactuality in philosophy, historiography, political
sciences, psychology, linguistics, physics, and literary studies.
The individual contributions not only engage the controversies that
the deployment of counterfactual thinking as a method still
generates, they also highlight the concept's potential to promote
interdisciplinary exchange without neglecting the limitations and
pitfalls of such a project. Moreover, the essays from literary
studies, which make up about half of the volume, provide both a
historical and a systematic perspective on the manifold ways in
which counterfactual scenarios can be incorporated into and
deployed in literary texts.
