Referential Indeterminacy in Fiction.

In this paper I’ll develop a criticism of Woods’ Truth in Fiction, concerning the book’s epistemicist treatment of issues of referential indeterminacy raised by the account of truth and reference in it. The criticism is meant as a challenge for the author to elaborate on the view of reference and the account of indeterminacy advanced in the book. I’ll proceed by outlining a contrasting view on those issues that I take to be otherwise close to those in the book, in that it validates the data that it wants to honor, as summarized in the précis, in very similar terms to those favored in the book.
