Abstract
Many people do not really believe fortune-telling, but they do not dismiss it as a complete nonsense, either. Their attitude toward it is ambivalent, and this ambivalence requires explanation. In this paper, I propose a thesis which can explain their ambivalent attitude toward fortune-telling by appealing to the concept of prop-oriented make-believe.
I argue that if we understand fortune-telling as practiced and enjoyed by these people as prop oriented-make-believe, we can best explain and understand the ambivalent attitude toward it.
많은 사람들은 운세를 진짜라고 믿지는 않으나 동시에 그것이 완전히 말도 안 되는 것으로 여기는 것도 아니다. 보통 사람들이 대체로 운세에 대해 가지는 태도는 이와 같이 이중적이며 이러한 이중적인 태도는 설명을 요한다. 본 논문에서 필자는 메이크빌리브라는 개념을 이용하여 사람들의 이러한 이중적인 태도를 철학적으로 설명할 수 있는 논제를 제시한다. 필자는 사람들이 운세를 대할 때의 태도를 메이크빌리브로 이해하면 이러한 이중적인 태도를 가장 잘 설명할 수 있을 것이라고 주장한다.
