Narrative and Truth: An Ethical and Dynamic Paradigm for the Humanities


Add your own review!

Overview

In this book, Emslie establishes that narrative explanations are to be preferred over non-narrative in the humanities. They are more truthful in two senses. They both correspond more closely to reality and allow inference as to normative values. This is particularly the case when aesthetics are added to the mix.
