(2018) Truth in fiction, Dordrecht, Springer.
We"ve known from early on that the inconsistency problem is the central challenge for any theory of truth for fiction constructed in the manner of the one developed here. The inconsistency problem is yet another example of a problem with a huge scholarship in ready wait. Inconsistency has dominated logic since Aristotle's founding of it. Whatever we end up saying about fiction's inconsistency problem, will have to have found a way to negotiate the choppy waters of a complex research scholarship rooted in the idea that inconsistency is logic's most mortal sin.
