Yet ever since Aristotle, philosophers have struggled to provide a plausible account of how this can be the case. For surely the fictionality - the sheer invented character - of the literary work means that literature concerns itself not with the real world but with other worlds - what are commonly called fictional worlds. How is it, then, that fictions can tell us something of consequence about reality? In Fiction and the Weave of Life, John Gibson offers a novel and intriguing account of the relationship between literature and life, and shows that literature's great cultural and cognitive value is inseparable from its fictionality and inventiveness.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"John Gibson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43573028847677,"sku":"9780199642571","price":91.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0597\/7689\/2989\/files\/9780199642571.jpg?v=1788509345","url":"https:\/\/www.palmleaf.com.au\/products\/fiction-and-the-weave-of-life","provider":"Palmleaf","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
