What if all the world around us unfolds in certain ways while we, human beings, constantly tell ourselves different stories about it? What if what we call human understanding is nothing else than stories we make up about some of the world's events, stories that are for the most part either flawed or incomplete? And if that is the case, to what extent do we do so and why do we even do it? What if we have always been living more in our stories than in the real world? These are some of the important questions John H.T. Francis addresses in Story and Meaning. Faithful to his multidisciplinary approach, intricate treatment of the subject, and modular and open style, the author looks at the existential role of the Story to human beings. Story and Meaning is a work in philosophy that comprises narratives, theoretical analysis, as well as practical thinking around the importance of the Story in our daily lives.
