• TITLE: Pretense Theory and the Imported Background

  AUTHORS: Jeffrey Goodman

  KEYWORDS: Fiction, Truth in Fiction, Pretense, Make-Believe

  JOURNAL NAME: Open Journal of Philosophy, Vol.1 No.1, August 17, 2011

  ABSTRACT: Kendall Walton’s pretense theory, like its rivals, says that what’s true in a fiction F depends in part on the importation of background propositions into F. The aim of this paper is to present, explain, and defend a brief yet straightforward argument–one which exploits the specific mechanism by which the pretense theory says propositions are imported into fictions–for the falsity of the pretense theory.
