abstract
This paper undertakes a critical appraisal of the prospects for fictionalist inquiry in psychology, which runs contrary to the traditional dissociation between fiction and knowledge-laden discourse. Following a review of the contested boundary between fiction and nonfiction, a portrait of essential aspects of fiction emerges, which includes authorial warrant, imaginative prescription, and performative engagement. The paper then proceeds to outline fictionalism as a philosophical approach, with reference to early and more modern variants of the position. This leads to a little discussed epistemic position called the fictional stance, which is then developed and applied to various psychological domains including the psychology of fiction, the fictional constructions of psychology, and the narrative study of lives. The viewpoint that emerges sees the epistemic value of fictional thinking in the unique access it provides to intuitive powers of the psychological imagination and to non-conceptual understandings of psychological life.
Conclusion
We thus return to a central theme of this paper, that fiction provides unique opportunities to engage our tacit, non-conceptual understandings of psychological life in ways that go beyond abstract theorizing or mundane factual description. The epistemic potential of fiction resides in the access it provides to intuitive powers of the psychological imagination in constituting forms of understanding beyond the rationally and empirically demonstrable. Oatley (1999) alluded to this epistemic potential in his claim that “fiction can be twice as true as fact” (p. 103). Jones (2010) pointed to the power of fiction to evoke a sense of the uncanny, the numinous and the liminal. The present paper has sought an understanding of these epistemic potentials with reference to contemporary theories of fiction and fictionalism, culminating in the development of the epistemic framework of the fictional stance. Clearly, there is much in this domain that remains to be explored.
