Erste Veranstaltung: 26.10.2011
Hinweise: The lecture traces the genealogy of fictions starting with Hinduist mythology (the goddess Maya) and early modern philosophical notions of “heterocosm” and “compossibility” (Addison, Leibniz, Bodmer and Breitinger) up to recent theories of “possible worlds” (Kripke) and “worldmaking” (Goodman). Then it focuses on the relation of fiction and language discussed first by Jeremy Bentham and the consequences of Bentham’s theory of language for the understanding of play and fiction in literature. The second part discusses the “philosophy of ‘as if’” of the German neo-Kantian thinker Hans Vaihinger, his thought of fictions as language structures and his functional approach to fictions in philosophy (especially Kant, Nietzsche) and science. The lecture is concluded by the reflection Vaihinger’s influence on Wolfgang Iser’s theory of the fictive and the imaginary, his literary anthropology and thought of culture.
