| summary | Since Colin Radford’s paper ‘How Can We Be Moved by the Fate of Anna Karenina?’ was published in 1975, philosophers (and others) have taken there to be a problem with our psychological interactions with fictional characters. This has become known as the ‘paradox of fiction’. The dominant view on this problem is that of Kendall Walton. This paper argues that there are a number of different problems that are discussed under this heading. Some of those (in particular, those raised by Radford) are not problems at all and others (in particular, one raised by Walton) are problems, but not problems particular to fiction. In short, ‘the paradox of fiction’ is neither a paradox nor is it related to fiction. |
