Narrative as Dialectic Abduction

Meer over het boek

Exploring the cognitive foundations of narratives, this book delves into Charles Sanders Peirce's pragmatistic model, emphasizing how abductive reasoning influences beliefs and actions. It highlights the significance of double consciousness in enhancing cognitive processes, particularly in children’s prelinguistic conflict resolution through storytelling. By integrating novel inferences with long-term memory, it offers insights into narrative construction for therapeutic purposes. Aimed at graduate students and scholars, it positions narrative as a dynamic, interdisciplinary phenomenon that engages interpreters in the storytelling process.
