Noch vor 40 Jahren war die philosophische Analyse der Fiktion ein rudimentärer Zweig der Sprachphilosophie. Heute ist sie ein aktives Forschungsprogramm, dessen theoretische Berechtigung durch das schnelle Wachstum und die Dynamik seiner Einsichten belegt wird. Frühe Arbeiten konzentrierten sich auf die Beziehungen zwischen Sprachphilosophie und analytischer Ästhetik. Der Rahmen hat sich erweitert und umfasst nun auch die Philosophie, Mathematik und Wissenschaftsphilosophie, insbesondere in den Bereichen Metaphysik, Erkenntnistheorie, Ethik und Recht. Eine zentrale Frage des aktuellen Forschungsprogramms ist, was passiert, wenn Fiktion in nicht-literarischen Kontexten behandelt wird. Wird die Natur des Begriffs Fiktion in Frage gestellt? Ist es eine maßgeschneiderte Fiktion für literarische Anwendungen oder ein generischer Begriff, dessen literarische und nicht-literarische Formen Instantiationen sind? Dies ist nur eine der vielen Fragen, die die Forschung antreiben. Die Themen werden von hervorragenden Autoren wie Robert Howell, Amie Thomasson und anderen behandelt. Nancy Cartwright hat ein Vorwort beigesteuert. Das Ergebnis ist ein reichhaltiges Werk, das das Forschungsprogramm über Fiktion erheblich vorantreibt.
