Time and Narrative (Paul Ricoeur): How Stories Shape Time

from Dratsi Pod

Paul Ricoeur explores how stories connect the time we measure with the time we experience. Time and Narrative brings Augustine’s reflections on time into conversation with Aristotle’s account of plot. Historical writing and fiction offer different ways of making events intelligible. The discussion follows how narrative organizes experience and how readers interpret it. Use these ideas to consider how the stories we tell shape our understanding of a life and its history.
