| 520 | |a Many people share the intuition that by turning to works of literature something can be learned about the world. One way to explain the epistemic access to the world that fictional literature provides is by comparing it to thought experiments.

This comparison of fictional literature with thought experiments provides the point of departure for the contributions in our volume.
