“No philosophy can compare in intensity and richness of meaning with a properly narrated story… storytelling reveals meaning without committing the error of defining it… it brings about consent and reconciliation with things as they really are…”

Ekostories 
Hannah Arendt eschewed being identified as a political philosopher; she described herself as a political theorist.
Yeah, I noticed her rejection of the label on her wikipedia page, but after listening to the program I linked to, philosopher seemed like a better fit that theorist to me – a personal perception of those terms. But regardless, the quotes above resonate quite strongly with me.
I agree with Aren’t and you. Stories shape our lives, probably more than anything else.
And often without us knowing š
An Arendt quote always deserves a like and a follow.
Thanks for both! š
Very true!
I totally agree as I’m an author myself and appreciate the difference a well narrated story could make in conveying meaning while giving pleasure.
