Human Communication As Narration by Walter R. Fisher
Toward a Philosophy of Reason, Value, and Action
The book explores the concept that human communication is fundamentally a narrative process, emphasizing that people understand and interpret the world through stories. It introduces the "narrative paradigm," which suggests that all meaningful communication is a form of storytelling, where individuals assess the coherence and fidelity of narratives to determine their truthfulness and relevance. This perspective challenges traditional views of communication that prioritize logic and reason, proposing instead that narrative rationality is a more comprehensive way to understand human interaction and decision-making.
