The problem of the nature of fiction and the problem of
nonexistence are closely tied because fiction often talks about
nonexistent entities. In Fiction, Reference, and Nonexistence, A.
P. Martinich and Avrum Stroll, two of America's leading
philosophers, explore fiction and undertake an analytic
philosophical study of fiction and its reference and its relation
to truth. Included in the discussion is the authors' new,
contemporary theory of fiction developed as an extension of the
speech act theory of H. P. Grice, as well as the relationship
between nonexistence and Bertrand Russell's well-known theory of
definite descriptions, and Hilary Putnam's theory of the
relationship between common names and the world.
