Fictional truth: in defence of the reality principle
Uppsala university.
2021 (engelsk)Inngår i: The language of fiction / [ed] Emar Maier; Andreas Stokke, Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2021, s. 88-106Kapittel i bok, del av antologi (Fagfellevurdert)
Abstract [en]

A well-known theory about under which circumstances a statement is true in a fiction is the Reality Principle (RP), which originates in the work of David Lewis: "(RP) Where p1…pn are the primary fictional truths of a fiction F, it is true in F that q iff the following holds: were p1…pn the case, q would have been the case" (Walton 1990, 44). RP has been subjected to a number of counterexamples, up to a point where, in the words of Stacie Friend (2017, 33), "it is widely recognized that the Reality Principle […] cannot be a universal inference rule for implied story-truths". This chapter argues that the strength of these counterexamples is widely overestimated, and that they do not, on closer scrutiny, constitute reasons for rejecting RP.
