Your quote is attempting to describe how those concepts work in the narrative, it’s taking a very broad overview of what’s happening narratively, and saying that “in this fictional world, this is how things play out for the characters” - it uses terms like Will and Truth to provide a conceptual framework for understanding the world as it happens to the characters

Given this understanding, the argument/counter-argument structure of (only a small subset of) analytic philosophy essay writing wouldn’t work, the same way it wouldn’t work if I was trying to describe the conceptual structure of Quine’s naturalism to you and you kept insisting I give arguments why it’s true, even if I myself am not a Quinean or naturalist
