Truth in Fiction
From The Art and Popular Culture Encyclopedia

"In 'Truth in Fiction' (1983), David Lewis raises four objections to a Meinongian semantics of fiction. Lewis does not deny that a Meinongian logic of fiction could be made to work, but identifies disadvantages in Meinongian semantics as a reason for recommending his own modal logical alternative. Lewis's essay first appeared in 1978, and is republished in his Philosophical Papers, to which he has added a series of 'Postscripts to “Truth in Fiction”' (1983)." --Alexius Meinong, The Shepherd of Non-Being, Dale Jacquette, 2015 |
