Abstract

Abstract Most analytical philosophers consider that we cannot identify with fictional characters in a literal sense. Specifically, Carroll and Gaut argue that doing so would imply a high degree of irrationality. In this paper I stand for the claim that we can identify with fictional characters thanks to a suspension of disbelief. First, I rely on narrative theories of personal identity to propose a model of how the process of identification might happen in real life. Then, I explain how this model can be adapted to account for the suspension of disbelief that occurs in the special case of identification with fictional characters.

有时我是虚构的：叙事与认同

摘要大多数分析哲学家认为，我们不能从字面意义上认同虚构人物。具体来说，Carroll和Gaut认为这样做意味着高度的非理性。在这篇论文中，我支持这样一种说法，即由于暂停了怀疑，我们可以认同虚构人物。首先，我依靠个人身份的叙事理论，提出了一个识别过程如何在现实生活中发生的模型。然后，我解释了如何调整这个模型，以解释在认同虚构人物的特殊情况下出现的怀疑暂停。
