“…Although some pretense theorists are thwarted by the engagement problem (e.g., Kroon 2004), our account avoids the objection because the kind of PIF account that we link deflationism with is a version of what we might call weak hermeneutic fictionalism about 'truth'-talk. Weak hermeneutic fictionalism differs from the standard varieties of fictionalism in three ways.…”

The Seven Consequences of Creationism

Creationism with respect to fictional entities, i.e., the position according to which ficta are creations of human practices, has recently become the most popular realist account of fictional entities. For it allows one to hold that there are fictional entities while simultaneously giving such entities a respectable metaphysical status, that of abstract artifacts. In this paper, I will draw what are the ontological and semantical consequences of this position, or at least of all its forms that are genuinely creationist. For some people, these consequences will sound as plagues against the position; for some others, especially realists on ficta, they are welcome results. Although I hold that all forms of genuine creationism have these consequences, I will conclude by explaining why I take moderate creationism, according to which ficta are created by means of a reflexive stance on the makebelieve practice grounding them, to be the best of these forms.
