Is anything fictional tangible?

  Is the ghost of a human a mammal?

    under Thomistic philosophy, yes.

    I don't think human ghosts are mammals, but for some reason that surprises me. I guess maybe my instinct is that mammals are a class of physical creatures, but mammal-ness seems simultaneously an inherent part of human-ness. I'm not sure what to do with this information.

  Let's say there's an apple in a biography from the 19th century. That apple has long since biodegraded. Is it somehow more tangible than an apple from a novel?
