SUMMARY:Fiction: Indispensable!
DESCRIPTION:Martin Vacek (Institute of Philosophy Slovak Academy of Science
 s)  A part of the overall reason to prefer modal fictionalism to modal  re
 alism is our epistemic access to fictions\, in contrast to our  inability 
 to access casually isolated spatiotemporal systems. I claim  that fictiona
 l discourse is indispensable to every metaphysical  theorising and\, if so
 \, metaphysical theories are on a par when it comes  to knowledge of their
  ontological commitments. First\, I introduce the  framework within which 
 I build my argument: ontology/ideology dichotomy.  Second\, I draw a line 
 between various understandings of the dichotomy.  Only one such understand
 ing will be of my interest though\, and will be  discussed in the third pa
 rt. I illustrate the position on a particular  debate in metaphysics and\,
  finally\, generalise my view to other debates  in metaphysics.
