In the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, new ways of storytelling
and inventing fictions appeared in the French-speaking areas of
Europe. This new art still influences our global culture of
fiction. Virginie Greene explores the relationship between fiction
and the development of neo-Aristotelian logic during this period
through a close examination of seminal literary and philosophical
texts by major medieval authors, such as Anselm of Canterbury,
Abelard, and Chretien de Troyes. This study of Old French logical
fictions encourages a broader theoretical reflection about fiction
as a universal human trait and a defining element of the history of
Western philosophy and literature. Additional close readings of
classical Greek philosophers Plato and Aristotle, and modern
analytic philosophy including the work of Bertrand Russell and
Rudolf Carnap, demonstrate peculiar traits of Western rationalism
and expose its ambivalent relationship to fiction.
