It puts forward a new metaphysical conception of the nature of these entities, according to which a fictional entity is a compound entity built up from both a make-believe theoretical element and a set theoretical element. The fictional entity is constructed by imagining the existence of an individual with certain properties and adding a set-theoretical element consisting of the set of properties corresponding to the properties of the imagined entity.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMoreover, the book advances a new combined semantic and ontological defence of the existence of fictional entities.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45276286222487,"sku":"9789048172955","price":11017.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9789048172955.webp?v=1769285227","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/how-ficta-follow-fiction-a-syncretistic-account-of-fictional-entities-9789048172955","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
