Where not to look for fictional objects / E. Paganini. - In: STUDIA SEMIOTYCZNE. - ISSN 2544-073X. - 36:1(2022), pp. 85-96. [10.26333/sts.xxxvi1.06]
Abstract:
Philosophers discuss whether we should commit ourselves to fictional objects or not. There is a test—quite widespread among philosophers—to settle the matter: if fictional objects are required to give an adequate semantic/pragmatic analysis of either intra-fictional or extra-fictional sentences, then we are committed to them; if we can ac-count for this analysis without them, we are not so committed. I am going to consider this test and I will claim that on its own it cannot be considered a definitive test.
