Abstract
This paper follows my 2019 monograph: Fictive Narrative Philosophy: How Fiction Can Act as Philosophy. I set out some of the key arguments from my book using examples from English and American literature as well as from my own published novels. It is my contention that certain sorts of argument in philosophy are best addressed by fiction while others are best addressed by “direct-discourse” logical presentations. I consider the criteria for each.
