摘　　要：模态虚构主义作为一种关于可能世界的虚构主义,是罗森(Gideon Rosen)对模态实在论的缺陷进行修正时提出的一个理论构想。这一理论的主要优势在于可以在不涉及本体论承诺的情况下谈论一些关于可能世界的命题。但是这一理论在提出后就遭受到了各种各样的批判,认为它并没有完成排除本体论承诺的目标,同时还带有人为性、不完整性和嵌入性等问题。有学者对此进行了反驳,认为模态虚构主义经过一定的修正可以克服其缺陷,并使其应用范围更为广泛。然而,经过综合比较之后可以发现,这一方案的应用代价似乎并不比模态实在论少。因此,一种更为可行的关于模态实在论的替代方案依旧值得进一步探索,如吸收各种模态立场的优点的温和模态实在论等。As a kind of fictionalism about the possible world,modal fictionalism is a theoretical conception put forward by Gideon Rosen when he corrected the defects of modal realism.The main advantage of this theory is that it is possible to talk about propositions of possible worlds without involving ontological commitments.However,this theory has been criticized by various critics since it was put forward,because it does not achieve the goal of excluding ontological commitment,and also has some problems such as artificiality,incompleteness and embeddedness.Some scholars refuted this,thinking that modal fictionalism can help this theory overcome its defects and make its application more extensive after certain modifications.However,after a comprehensive comparison,it can be found that the application cost of this scheme is not less than that of modal realism.Therefore,a more feasible alternative to modal realism,such as moderate modal realism,which learns the advantages of various modal positions,is still worth further exploration.
