1. People are essentially storytellers.
2. We make decisions on the basis of good reasons, which vary depending on
the communication situation, media, and genre (philosophical, technical,
rhetorical, or artistic).
3. History, biography, culture, and character determine what we consider good
reasons.
4. Narrative rationality is determined by the coherence and fidelity of our stories.
5. The world is a set of stories from which we choose, and thus constantly
re-create, our lives.
