How are fictions given? Conjoining the 'artifactual theory' and the 'imaginary-object theory'.
According to the so-called 'artifactual theory' of fiction, fictional objects are to be considered as abstract artifacts. Within this framework, fictional objects are defined on the basis of their complex dependence on literary works, authors, and readership. This theory is explicitly distinguished...

Conjoining the 'artifactual theory' and the 'imaginary-object theory'. aug: au: Summa, Michela affil: Institut für Philosophie, Josef-Stangl-Platz 2, 97070, Würzburg, Germany su: Fiction Phenomenalism Ontology Readership Phenomenology sug: subj: Fiction Phenomenalism Ontology Readership Phenomenology keyword: Constitution Givenness Imagination ab: According to the so-called 'artifactual theory' of fiction, fictional objects are to be considered as abstract artifacts. Within this framework, fictional objects are defined on the basis of their complex dependence on literary works, authors, and readership. This theory is explicitly distinguished from other approaches to fictions, notably from the imaginary-object theory. In this article, I argue that the two approaches are not mutually exclusive but can and should be integrated. In particular, the ontology of fiction can be fruitfully supplemented by a phenomenological analysis, which allows us to clarify the defining modes of givenness of fictional objects. Likewise, based on the results of the artifactual theory, some assumptions in the imaginary-object theory, which are liable to be interpreted as laying the ground to phenomenalism, can be corrected. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Synthese is a copyright of Springer, 2021.
