• @book{Armour-GarbForthcoming-ARMPAP-3,year = {forthcoming},publisher = {Cambridge University Press},abstract = {This book offers new insights into fictionalism as an approach in philosophy and explains how applying a particular fictionalist strategy both dissolves the semantic pathology that appears to plague the traditional semantic notions (e.g., the worries about truth that the Liar Paradox and the Truthteller generate) and promises to resolve further puzzles and problems that arise from ordinary existence-talk and identity-talk. In addition, after raising concerns for realism about propositions, the book also provides a fictionalist account of talk that seems to implicate such entities, including mental-attitude ascriptions and meaning attributions. Then, after providing a novel understanding of ''deflationary'' analyses of truth-talk, the book explains why deflationists generally should endorse a fictionalist account of that discourse. This is followed by related accounts of talk employing the other traditional semantic notions, reference and predicate-satisfaction, and the application of these fictionalist accounts in resolving the paradoxes that these notions appear to present.},author = {Bradley Armour-Garb and James A.
