Fictionality and imagination, revisited
I present and discuss a counterexample to Kendall Walton's necessary condition for fictionality that arises from considering serial fictions. I argue that although Walton's has not in fact provided a necessary condition for fictionality, a more complex version of Walton’s condition is immune from the counterexample.

Abstract

I present and discuss a counterexample to Kendall Walton's necessary condition for fictionality that arises from considering serial fictions. I argue that although Walton's has not in fact provided a necessary condition for fictionality, a more complex version of Walton’s condition is immune from the counterexample.
