虚構と信仰はどのようにかかわるのか？文学理論、哲学、社会学、宗教学、歴史学、認知科学の境界を越えて、「虚構の理論・哲学的視座」「虚構・事実・科学」「虚構の社会的影響と利用」「虚構と政治」「虚構と宗教」の問題系を考察する全36章。共編者に久保昭博・関西学院大学教授。The Routledge Handbook of Fiction and Belief offers a fresh reevaluation of the relationship between fiction and belief, surveying key debates and perspectives from a range of disciplines including narrative and cultural studies, science, religion, and politics. This volume draws on global, cutting edge research and theory to investigate the historically variable understandings of fictionality, and allows readers to grasp the role of fictions in our understanding of the world.
