"Radical Fictionalism: Interpretation and Criticism"
Last Wednesday Seminar
In this talk I explore some consequences of Radical Fictionalism, namely the thesis that so-called fictional names are only fictionally proper names. I provide a brief summary of the starting points for Radical Fictionalism, with particular attention to the storyworld-periphery divide. I then proceed to certain consequences of Radical Fictionalism for the interpretation of fictional narrative, focusing on the aims and scope of critical discourse.

The research group on Language, Action, and Thought ---at the Institute of Logic, Cognition, Language and Information (ILCLI)--- mostly focuses on the Philosophy of Language and Mind as well as on the Philosophy of Action. Most of its members are philosophers but it also includes linguists, psychologists and logicians.
An important part of our research has evolved around Critical Pragmatics, a theory created and developed by some of us, with applications to the study of linguistic communication, and important assumptions and implications about thought and action.
During the last decade, we have received several grants from the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU), the Basque Government and the Government of Spain.
Address: ILCLI. UPV/EHU. Carlos Santamaria Zentroa.
