INDIVIDUALITY IN FICTION AND THE CREATIVE ROLE OF THE READER

Abstract

International audience The main aim of the paper is to offer a solution compatible with Graham Priest’sNoneism and Amie Thomasson’s Artifactual theory which stresses the epistemic features ofthe notion of individuality in fiction in a framework where individuals are conceived of asfunctions (the framework is known as the world-lines-semantics of Hintikka). According toour view, it is the endorsement of a reader’s perspective that extends the range of the valuesof the functions (individuals) and that offers an alternative solution to cases of identity insideand outside the scope of a fictionality (or representation) operator. More technically, thisproposal can be seen as both extending the notion of individuality of the Artifactual theoryand furnishing an epistemic twist to Priest’s principle of freedom.
