Is the story ever really all told?

Question

Philosophers, lets see where we go with this one.

Answer 1

I suppose that the event that is the universe is the one story, that contains all others. And, just for the fun of it, let's suppose that we COULD adequately describe the course of All That Is (the universe) from its beginning to its end. Would that story really be all told, even if it were completely comprehensive of All That Was, Is, And How It Ends?

Note, we've limited 'the story' to 'about a defined event'. That might be error. Before the Big Bang (assuming we adopt that as a plausible beginning to our story), there might well have been The Enormous Ennui, a thoroughly uninteresting prelude that we have cleverly left out, to avoid boring our readers. And following The End of our story, there might be The Interminable And Quite Deadly Silence, also omitted, for the same cause.

There's no solution: wherever we set terms, we admit that there is some possibility space without those terms. Ya gotta have SOME metaphysics--and that makes 'telling the whole story' impossible.

The point I'd make, if I had a point, is that 'the story' is ALWAYS less than might be told.

On a much finer, everday scale, every 'fact' we report omits Practically The Whole Universe. We leave out a lot.

But the point of stories isn't that they be wholly comprehensive: they're told to present something of interest or of use, in a local context. "There's sandwich makings in the fridge, Punkin." "I broke your lamp. Sorry." "Napoleon conquered much of Europe, but in doing so, he pissed the unconquered remainder of Europe off, and thereafter got squashed by their counter-offensives. And the moral of that story is: don't piss Europe off."

I imagine that more rigorous philosophers will take up the gauntlet in a more scholarly manner--but this should be good enough for your average redneck pragmatist.

Answer 2

sure that's wonderful. that's been on sale for a while and continues to be a maximum suitable vendor. in case you put in some attempt you will discover the characters are asserting greater desirable than you're listening to. the finished e book, the two halves all 66 factors has a plot that runs in the time of to bare in deed the main suitable tale ever instructed. I purely desire human beings could positioned one million/2 the attempt in bible learn as they do analyzing fiction. As a lover of sci-fi and delusion i detect the e book enticing. As an observer of history i detect it real. How lots attempt do you place into learn in the previous you form an opinion. Or do you purely believe what ever you go with for and make the international slot on your container? God Bless!

Answer 3

"the story" is never told. there's always a question, a glitch, a little something that's always missing, either of not knowing, not remembering or out of subjectivism.
on the other hand telling the story in full detail, from a complete objective point of view would rule out any attempt of imagination, thinking, questioning the story and it would make 'the story' lose its interest, making it unworthy of telling it in the first place.

Answer 4

Do you tell the facts or have an agenda?
Is the story over or on going?
Will the story affect you or not?
