Rethinking Role Realism

Daniela Glavanicova

Summary: Role realism is a promising realist theory of fictional names that analyzes fictional characters in terms of roles. Different versions of this theory have been proposed, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. The author introduces a novel hyperintensional version called impossibilism, which avoids the main drawbacks of standard role realism by analyzing fictional names in terms of individual concepts that cannot be matched by a reference.
