Abstract

Modern uses of the terms “fiction” and “fictionality” emphasize the cognitive function of the imagination to distinguish between truth and falsehood. The legacy of romantic idealism (Kant and Hegel) is evident in modern uses of these terms, especially as they represent the independence of reason from external causes. “Fiction” and “fictionality” are key features of a modernization process now associated with the Anthropocene.
