Description

On Stories explores the enduring power of narrative to reveal insights into the human condition. Since Aristotle, philosophy has grappled with the significance of stories in shaping our understanding of ourselves and the world around us.

Richard Kearney examines how stories not only entertain but also influence our lives and personal identities. He draws on a range of examples, including literary works and historical events, to illustrate the role of narrative in shaping our experiences and perceptions.

In this thought-provoking book, Kearney argues that the digital era has merely opened up new possibilities for storytelling, rather than marking its decline. On Stories offers a compelling analysis of the enduring importance of narrative in modern life.
