Abstract:

Counterfactuality is currently a hotly debated topic. While for some disciplines 
such as linguistics, cognitive science, or psychology counterfactual scenarios 
have been an important object of study for quite a while, counterfactual thinking 
has in recent years emerged as a method of study for other disciplines, most 
notably the social sciences. This volume provides an overview of the current 
definitions and uses of the concept of counterfactuality in philosophy, 
historiography, political sciences, psychology, linguistics, physics, and literary 
studies. The individual contributions not only engage the controversies that the 
deployment of counterfactual thinking as a method still generates, they also 
highlight the concept's potential to promote interdisciplinary exchange without 
neglecting the limitations and pitfalls of such a project. Moreover, the essays 
from literary studies, which make up about half of the volume, provide both a 
historical and a systematic perspective on the manifold ways in which 
counterfactual scenarios can be incorporated into and deployed in literary texts.
