- Title
Attending Emotionally to Fiction.
- Authors
Todd, Cain
- Abstract
The article offers the author's insights on exploring the issues on the relevant responses on "F-emotions" for fiction-directed emotions which he referred to as the Knowledge Problem (KP). The author suggests learning the role played by imagination in a person's engagement with fiction as equivalent to the role of acceptance in practical reasoning. He mentions a person's ability to engage with fiction emotionally is a fundamental part of his cognitive architecture.
