8. More truth than fact: storytelling as critical understanding in the writings of Hannah Arendt

Author

Disch, Lisa J.

Subjects
Storytelling -- Political aspects, Totalitarianism -- Portrayals, Government, Political science
Abstract

Hannah Arendt believes that stories can be used to present political theories, for while they are not descriptions of facts, they are principled and therefore enhance the understanding of political situations. Arendt has used this form to analyze 'totalitarianism,' which arises out of the problem of not knowing the response to 'total domination.' Arendt's refusal to explain her technique of writing due to a disapproval of categorical analyses has evoked subjective criticism. She uses storytelling to encourage 'detached reasoning' as opposed to 'impartiality.'
