The stories provide us with some of the richest and most consistent ideas in the human condition that have occupied philosophy since Aristotle. The stories are presented in a clear and attractive manner only why narrative has this force on us and argues that undistorted life is not worth living.
Drawing on the works of James Joyce, Mary Magdalen of Sigmund Freud and the Oscar Schindler case, Richard Kearney brilliantly explains how stories are not only inspired, but can define our own lives and identities. Countries are also considered as stories, including the story of Romulus and Remus in the founding of Rome.
Throughout, the stories emphasize that, far from announcing the end of narrative, the digital age opens only new stories.
