Much ado about nothing: Critical realism examined
Philosophical Studies 115 (2):123 - 147 (2003)
| Abstract | Critical realism is the view that fictional characters arecontingent, actual, abstract individuals, ontologically on a par with such things as plots and rhyme schemes, andquantified over in statements such as A character inHamlet is a prince. A strong contender for thecorrect account of fictional characters, critical realismnevertheless has difficulty satisfying all that we intuitivelyrequire of such an account. | |||||||||
