Fear and Loathing in Fictional Worlds

Description	Our affective responses to fiction ought not to be characterized as quasi-emotions for the following reasons. First, responses that Walton regards as unproblematically emotional do not fit the belief/desire account of emotion he has proposed in Mimesis as Make-Believe. Second, I contend that our more typical responses to fiction involve broad evaluative beliefs that are existentially uncommitted, but no less epistemically respectable for that. Constellations of such beliefs infuse affective reactions to fiction and can account for both authentic participant emotions and related obligations and motivations. Finally, I concede that there may be a continuum along which affective reactions experienced in the course of games of make-believe may fall, some being more easily relegated to quasi- or make-believe territory than others. The degree to which Walton would describe one's presence in the game of make-believe as “ghostly” or “sketchy” is, I will argue, more likely to involve full-fledged emotional response.
