Narrative as Dialectic Abduction

More about the book

Exploring the cognitive foundations of narratives, this book delves into Charles Sanders Peirce's pragmatistic model, particularly the concept of double consciousness. It highlights how abductive reasoning enhances belief and action habits, especially in children who navigate propositional conflicts through listening and retelling. The work bridges theory and practice, aiming to inform therapeutic interventions for narrative reconstruction in both adults and children. With its interdisciplinary approach, it positions narrative as a dynamic medium for resolving logical and practical conflicts, engaging interpreters as active participants.
