So one way to solve the puzzle about the existence of Harry Potter, and truth, of imaginary objects is to say that- in case of Harry Potter- J.K. Rolling created a universe of discourse that is Harry’s world. And that world shares something common with our world, but it has differences too. In the real world it is false that Harry Potter has a lightning scar on his head, because there is no Harry Potter. But in the universe of discourse that is the world of Harry Potter, it’s true, because both Harry and lightning scar exist.
Seems rational? Doesn’t it? Every time we are telling a story, we are actually creating a new universe (of discourse). Every time we conceptualize a new idea, we are again creating a new world. So what all these worlds are made of? WORDS. They are all made of words. So that we may naturally assume that our world, I mean the physical world, is also made of words, because there is only one way to create a world, and that is thru telling a new story.
‹WORLDS› ARE ‹WORDS›.
