Muddling through

an episodic conversation on self, narrativity, transience, and other pleasantries

Galen Strawson(Texas University at Austin)Andrea Altobrando(University of Padova)

pp. 135-163

Abstract

In your article "The unstoried life", you criticize the idea that having a "storied life' is necessary for a good life. Some authors would probably admit that having a storied life is perhaps not necessary in order to simply exist as an individual, singular being, but they would probably not accept that what you (in Selves) call a "whole human being' is possible without such (self-)narration.
