Philosophy and fiction: common problems, uncommon solutions? (By D*n*ld D*vids*n?)

Abstract

I consider a proposal for what the relation between philosophy and fiction is: the same problems appear in both, but fiction explores solutions which are not available to philosophers. I use Joe Horton’s all-or-nothing problem to illustrate the proposal, but pose an objection to it.
