Sažetak
The paper investigates the nature of general statements that can be extracted from a work of fiction, where the relevant statements are considered to be those that can be projected from a work of fiction to the real world. The form of these statements is given as 'an F typically has G'. It is argued that this extraction is guided by an assumption that at least some properties ascribed to a character in a work of fiction are such that the character is particularly representative of the property in question. A distinction is drawn between two kinds of general statements extractable from fiction, and this distinction is elaborated along six dimensions: extractability, source of justification, role in aesthetic value, intra-work indeterminacy, inter-work clash, and cognitive value.
