Description

Only Imagine: A Theory of Fictional Content

Kathleen Stock presents a provocative theory of fictional content, arguing that the fictional content of a work is equivalent to exactly what the author intended the reader to imagine. This idea, known as 'extreme intentionalism', has been met with skepticism by literary theorists and philosophers.

This book explores both the merits of extreme intentionalism as an account of fictional truth, and its explanatory benefits for other issues in the philosophy of fiction and imagination.
