Fiction seems to be the natural habitat of imagination. When we read a novel or look at a work of art we use imagination. But can we also acquire factual knowledge on the basis of imaginative experience? Can imagination be a source of justification? Some philosophers think it can. In the workshop we deal with these questions.
