Fictional objects / / Stuart Brock and Anthony Everett.
11 original essays discuss a range of puzzling philosophical questions about characters in fiction and other fictional objects. For example: Do they really exist? Are they created? Can they be destroyed? Are they abstract or concrete? What are their identity conditions? What kinds of attitudes can we have towards them?
