Prague Interpretation Colloquium /14./. Thinking and Speaking about Fictional Worlds

Original language description

The conference was focused on two principal questions concerning fiction in literature: (1) Should we assume that reading of a text of narrative fiction directs our thoughts, imagination, sensitivity, moral attitudes etc. to a fictional world created by an author? Or is it sufficient to say that it relates us to an alternative state of the real world, like the ordinary talk about counterfactual scenarios? (2) Is the assumption of fictional worlds necessary in order to assign a domain of discourse to the texts of narrative fiction and to guarantee the referential function of singular terms which occur in them? Or what are the alternatives?
