- Walter Fisher proposes the narrative paradigm theory which argues that humans are naturally storytelling beings and make decisions based on good reasons and narratives rather than pure rationality. - The narrative paradigm sees knowledge as arising from stories rather than just observable facts, and values aesthetics and the judgments of many instead of just experts. - For a narrative to be considered reasonable according to the narrative paradigm, it must have narrative fidelity by resonating with one's experiences and coherence by having a consistent internal logic and fitting with other known stories.
