Proposition 028 – Narrative as interpretive framework

A narrative provides standards by which judgements, goals and courses of action for new situations can be derived from general civili­sation elements.

• Explanation. A narrative connects general conceptions, norms, values, goals and ideals in a recognisable frame­work. New situations and events can therefore be interpreted and evaluated, and appropriate goals and courses of action derived from them, without requiring a completely new deliberation each time.
