The Epistemology of Narrative Knowledge

This paper introduces the 88th issue of Rivista di Estetica, which is devoted to the epistemology of narrative knowledge. It points out that human abilities to tell and understand stories inform a peculiar kind of “narrative” epistemology, and explores its nature and role in shaping our view of the world and ourselves. Moreover, it presents the papers included in the issue, showing how wide the scope of narrative knowledge is.
