Jan Schapp

Concerning the modern discussion about the relation between event and narration and “Time and Narration” (Paul Ricoeur) the author asks about the relation between entanglement and narration in Wilhelm Schapps philosophy of stories. The philosophy of stories does not approve a systematisation of the topic but does allow its discussion under various aspects. Among those, the author chooses the existence of narrations in the stories of the entangled, the silent speaking, the entanglement in a positive world and the relation between the story of one’s life and poetry. The essay also is a contribution to basic questions of narrative ethics. mehr
