Description

Eleven original essays discuss a range of puzzling philosophical questions about fictional characters, and more generally about fictional objects.

For example, they ask questions like the following: Do they really exist?

What would fictional objects be like if they existed?

Do they exist eternally? Are they created? Who by? When and how? Can they be destroyed? If so, how? Are they abstract or concrete? Are they actual? Are they complete objects? Are they possible objects? How many fictional objects are there? What are their identity conditions? What kinds of attitudes can we have towards them? This volume will be a landmark in the philosophical debate about fictional objects, and will influence higher-level debates within metaphysics, the philosophy of mind, and the philosophy of language.
