A Critical Introduction to Fictionalism provides a clear and
comprehensive understanding of an important alternative to realism.
Drawing on questions from ethics, the philosophy of religion, art,
mathematics, logic and science, this is a complete exploration of
how fictionalism contrasts with other non-realist doctrines and
motivates influential fictionalist treatments across a range of
philosophical issues. Defending and criticizing influential as well
as emerging fictionalist approaches, this accessible overview
discuses physical objects, universals, God, moral properties,
numbers and other fictional entities. Where possible it draws
general lessons about the conditions under which a fictionalist
treatment of a class of items is plausible. Distinguishing
fictionalism from other views about the existence of items, it
explains the central features of this key metaphysical topic.
Featuring a historical survey, definitions of key terms,
characterisations of important subdivisions, objections and
problems for fictionalism, and contemporary fictionalist treatments
of several issues, A Critical Introduction to Fictionalism is a
valuable resource for students of metaphysics as well as students
of philosophical methodology. It is the only book of its kind.
