"Within contemporary, analytic philosophy, "Fictionalism"-broadly understood as a
view that uses a notion of fiction in order to resolve certain philosophical problems
that do not necessarily have anything to do with fiction-has been on the scene for
some time. There is a well-known collection, Fictionalism in Metaphysics (OUP, 2005),
which provided a good indication of the scope of the view (and its problems) as things
stood in the early 2000's. But more than a decade has passed since the appearance
of that volume, and much has happened in philosophy, including in the area of fictionalism.
In addition to the fact that fictionalism in philosophy appears to be more popular
than ever, there are now competing views about how to tackle some of the issues that
fictionalists aim to address. Moreover, fictionalism has branched out into many more
areas, and there is a continuing debate about what fictionalism in philosophy actually
amounts to, and about how precisely it ought to be pursued. There is thus a pressing
need for a volume such as Fictionalism in Philosophy. After a detailed discussion
in the book's introductory chapter of how, in the light of these ongoing debates,
philosophers should think of fictionalism and its connection to metaontology more
generally, the remaining chapters provide readers with some of the most current and
up-to-date work on fictionalism, both for and against. As such, the volume will be
of interest to professional philosophers, as well as to graduate students in philosophy
and to advanced undergraduates"
