Blumberg and Holguín on Unique Fictional Worlds
Blumberg and Holguín (2025) argue that our judgments about the kinds of attitudes that are appropriate to take toward indeterminate fictional claims support the view that, for any fiction, there is a single world that determines what is true according to that fiction. We argue that Blumberg and Holguin fail to show that our judgments about the kinds of attitudes that are appropriate to take toward indeterminate fictional claims support their view over the competing ‘standard view’.
