ABSTRACT
Science has prospered by investigating highly focused questions like in what specific areas of the brain does a particular function reside, the distinctions between didactic and declarative memory, and the chronology of specific developments like the infant's smile. This chapter explores narrative and meaning opens a broader perspective. In this broadened perspective, parts come together to fashion an integrated whole. Brain networks integrate whole areas of functioning. Experience as it is lived is integrated and synthesized into many forms of communicable stories that are both explicitly knowable and at the edge of the knowable. The chapter explores the edge of the knowable or what is knowable about what is not knowable, what they can or cannot know about our lived experience both implicitly and explicitly through narrative and what underlies narrative. Experience as it is lived is integrated and synthesized into many forms of communicable stories that are both explicitly knowable and at the edge of the knowable.
