Is it all because of a story?
Philosophical Forum 51 (3):247-260 (2020)
Abstract
A very popular account of various behaviors among journalists and humanities scholars and is that such behaviors were caused by stories that people read or heard. In this paper, I argue that such explanations are seldom justified, and speculate about what makes story‐based accounts so popular when there is so little evidence for them.Other Versions
