The Fictional World: A Phenomenology of the Phantasy-World
Abstract
This article explores the notion of fictional world from the viewpoint of Edmund Husserl’s philosophy, highlighting the potentiality of phenomenology for contributing to the fields of aesthetics and theory of fiction. To this aim, the analysis will depart from the description of the structures of the fictional experience, which here is going to be treated as a phantasy experience. From this standpoint, the analysis first makes visible the correlation between phantasy consciousness and phantasy world and, next, explains the structures of each of the poles of experience. For Husserl, this correlation is logically grounded on the doctrine of transcendental idealism and its conception of the phantasy world as a possible world.
