Fact or fiction? – In post-factual times, this alternative becomes a problem and demands a clear decision in the face of fake news and conspiracy theories. But even regarding the facts it is not that simple. Sometimes fiction is the only chance to realise reality. That is why philosophy frequently argues with fictions, jurisprudence counts on legal fictions, and Pauline theology does not get by without an as if not. Reason enough to enquire about the meaning of fictionality for recognition and self-conception of man. The aim of the theological and philosophical studies collected in this volume is to fathom the sense of what might be.
