Possible-Worlds Semantics, Fiction, and Creativity

Arto Mutanen ; The Finnish Naval Academy, Helsinki, Finland

Abstract

In the paper we will study the notions of possible-worlds semantics, fiction, and creativity. The intention is to show how the notion of possible-worlds semantics allows us to generate a fresh interpretation of the notions of fiction and creativity. To do this, we have to consider the philosophy of logic. Possible-worlds semantics can be used in interpreting modal notions. The intention is to interpret the notions of fiction and creativity as modal notions. However, the analysis shows that the notions of fiction and creativity are multimodal notions.
