What is fiction according to idealism?

In idealism, fiction is often seen as a creation of the mind, a product of imagination that may not have a direct correspondence to the physical world.

Well, according to Wikipedia, realistic fiction presents stories that seem possible and relatable to our everyday experiences. It often explores common themes and problems faced by real people.

For Homer, historical fiction might have been a way to blend real events and characters with imaginative elements to tell a compelling story of the past.

From the perspective of Wikipedia, novel fiction is a kind of imaginative writing that presents a fictional world, characters, and events. It can cover a wide range of genres and subjects, and is known for its depth and elaboration.

Some of the best fiction books on Goodreads include 'Jane Eyre' by Charlotte Bronte. It's a story of a strong - willed woman's journey through love, self - discovery, and independence. 'Moby - Dick' by Herman Melville is also considered a great work. It's not only about the hunt for a white whale but also a deep exploration of human nature and obsession. 'The Catcher in the Rye' by J.D. Salinger is popular too. It follows the experiences of a disillusioned teenager in a relatable and thought - provoking way.

There could be works by Kazuo Ishiguro. For example, 'Never Let Me Go' is a thought - provoking novel. It's about a group of clones and their fates. The story is told in a very calm yet disturbing way, making us question the ethics of certain scientific advancements.

The term 'according to Hoyle' usually implies by the rules or in a proper way. In the context of pulp fiction, if we consider it in that sense, pulp fiction followed its own set of rules. It had a particular style of writing that was characterized by vivid descriptions, simple yet engaging plots, and often larger - than - life characters. It was a product of its time, reflecting the cultural and social interests of the era. It allowed for a lot of creativity within its own genre boundaries, and many of the themes and story elements in pulp fiction have influenced modern literature and media in various ways.

According to fiction, one rule could be that time travel might be limited by the laws of physics within the fictional universe. For example, in some science - fiction stories, you need a huge amount of energy to open a time - travel gateway. Another rule is that time travelers may experience time dilation. This means that while they might spend a short time in the time - travel process, a lot of time could have passed in the normal world. Also, there's often the idea that time travel can be dangerous. You might get stuck in a different time period, or worse, create a paradox that could destroy the fabric of the universe as the story sometimes goes.
