It targets the tension between apparently true but ontologically incoherent statements about fictional entities. Using the Minimal Revision principle and the Acceptability Constraint, it distinguishes internal from external fictional discourse, critiques traditional Meinongianism, Fictionalism, and Realism, then proposes MMM via modal semantics with impossible worlds, a qualified comprehension principle for objects, and an existence-entailment notion for properties, supported by a formal semantics using a representation operator.","","cbCaimKc732H0pem","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaimKc732H0pem","pdf",175421,1,22,"English","en",105,"# The methodology of fiction: Minimal Revision and the Acceptability Constraint\n## The problem of incoherent intuitions in fictional discourse\n## Competing accounts of fictional objects\n## MMM: Modal Meinongian Metaphysics","[{\"question\":\"What problem does the paper address about fictional discourse?\",\"answer\":\"Fictional discourse reflects intuitions that pull in different ontological directions, such as treating statements about a character as true while also rejecting that the character exists in the ordinary way.\"},{\"question\":\"What are the Minimal Revision and Acceptability Constraint principles?\",\"answer\":\"Minimal Revision requires deviating from the literal reading of fictional discourse only when it is absurd, blatantly false, or incoherent.
