Summary/Abstract: By drawing on Frank Kermode's approach to "fictions" (in particular, the "fictions of concord"), this paper proposes a framing of the Stevensian dichotomy "imagination-reality" against the background of the dialectic relationship between two seminal scientific theories of the 20th century – Einstein's Relativity Theory and the principles of Quantum Physics.
