And since the consequent is that every proposition is true, it follows that <i>f</i> is a universal fiction.</p><p>Ricksand (<span>2020</span>) raises three objections to our proposal. Here, we take the opportunity to reply to these concerns, thereby clarifying and expanding on our argument.</p><p>Before turning to Ricksand's objections, it is useful to discuss the background dialectic. Doing so will clarify our ecumenical approach and serve as a foundation for our replies.</p><p>There are (at least!) two substantive difficulties one faces when following our recipe. The first concerns ensuring that (1) and (2) are part of <i>f</i>'s content. Addressing this requires saying something about the broader question of how to make a particular proposition true in a given fiction.</p><p>This is a hoary, difficult matter, to which there is no straightforward answer. One naïve idea is that <i>saying makes it so</i>; roughly, if some statement is explicitly made in a fiction (for example, by the fiction's narrator), then the expressed proposition is true in that fiction. Philosophers and literary theorists have roundly (and rightly) rejected this stipulatory account, as, for example, any fiction featuring an unreliable narrator is a counterexample. A second, related notion is intentionalism: if the (or an) author of fiction <i>f</i> intends that <i>p</i> is true-in-<i>f</i>, then <i>p</i> is true-in-<i>f</i>. This approach has also been largely rejected, running into numerous apparent counterexamples (see, for example, Lewis <span>1978</span>, though see also, Stock <span>2017</span>).</p><p>Another way of being part of <i>f</i>'s content is to be imported, that is, a proposition brought into the fiction from the outside. However, what (if any) propositions should be imported is another controversial matter.<sup>3</sup> Yet another way is to be implied; that is, if <i>p</i> is a logical consequence of some proposition that is true-in-<i>f</i>, then <i>p</i> is true-in-<i>f</i>. This is especially unhelpful, since not only does it move the bubble in the carpet (since it requires that we already know some of <i>f</i>'s content), but it is not clear which notion of logical consequence we should employ.</p><p>We mention these to highlight that there is no good general story about how to guarantee that a proposition is true in particular fiction. This makes addressing the first issue extremely difficult, as it is hard to know whether one has succeeded in making (1) and (2) true in <i>f</i>.<sup>4</sup></p><p>The second difficulty concerns ensuring that <i>f</i> is governed by FMP-LOCAL<sub>f</sub>. As before, there is a lurking larger problem: namely, settling what (if any) principle","PeriodicalId":51571,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF AESTHETICS AND ART CRITICISM","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2020-05-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1111/jaac.12721","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116211602","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This view assumes that Platonism is bound to individuate works of music in sonicist and noncontextualist terms, while Aristotelianism is tied to instrumentalist and contextualist accounts on work-individuation. I argue that this assumption is wrong. I provide an argument that shows that the differences between musical Platonism and Aristotelianism concern the existence conditions of musical works qua types, but not their identity conditions. Assuming that the existence and individuation conditions of types are given by their associated properties, I defend that the disagreement between Platonism and Aristotelianism is about the principle of instantiation of properties, regardless if these properties are monadic (sonicism and noncontextualism) or relational (instrumentalism and contextualism).</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":51571,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF AESTHETICS AND ART CRITICISM","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2020-05-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1111/jaac.12714","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131773047","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
