Re: the revised SEP entry on fictionalism … I have a rather brief introduction to legal fictions by way of Lon Fuller, et al., here: https://psodmusings.wordpress.com/2024/01/13/legal-fictions-from-the-innocuous-misleading-obfuscatory-useful-or-necessary-to-those-pernicious-irrational-and-often-immoral-in-consequence/
And missing from the bibliography for the SEP entry is a work I’ve found useful: A.P. Martinich and Avrum Stroll, Much Ado About Nonexistence: Fiction and Reference (Rowman & Littlefield, 2007). Finally, perhaps some folks interested in this topic would also enjoy Jonardon Ganeri’s 2004 article on “An Irrealist Theory of Self,” found here: https://www.academia.edu/7688969/An_Irrealist_Theory_of_Self_2004_
