abstract="Jackson (1996) has used a theory of structural semiotics (based on the work of Greimas) to provide a critique of Wagenaar, van Koppen & Crombag's theory of anchored narrative (and other cognate work). Here, his critique is located within a wider framework of research and theory in psychology and philosophy. I conclude that the concept of narrative has been used both to talk about the practices of sense making and to identify those reflective practices which constitute good thinking. I argue that the work of Wagenaar and his colleagues combines these themes in interesting and important ways. I argue that the work of philosophers such as Goldman (1986) provides a satisfactory epistemological foundation for work in this tradition. It is concluded that, whilst Jackson makes a number of important points, he does not succeed in showing that Greimas' semiotic conception of narrative provides a more useful framework for understanding explanation-based decision making.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
