“Fiction without Mimesis: a Comparative Philosophy of Fiction”--Hannah Kim (University of Arizona)

Is 'fiction' a transhistorical and transcultural concept? Gregory Currie (2014) says 'yes'. In this talk, I argue that we ought to be skeptical of such a universal notion of fiction because 'fiction' is a concept that responds to a philosophical culture's given metaphysical framework. Observing how ancient Greek metaphysics affects analytic philosophy of fiction, and comparing it with how classical Chinese metaphysics affected their theories (and practice) of fiction shows us what the aims and methods should be for (analytic) philosophy of fiction.

Hannah Kim is an Assistant Professor at the University of Arizona. She received her PhD in Philosophy and PhD minor in Comparative Literature from Stanford University. She works on aesthetics, metaphysics, and Asian philosophy.
