Abstract

In this paper I deal with a use of narrative arguments in the delimitation of political problems. My purpose is to present an interpretation of this use and suggest some ways that would help us to weigh when we are presented with two narrative arguments that invite us to define the same problem in two different ways. This task is part of the interests to advance in the theoretical elaboration of the concept of narrative argument, to develop strategies for the weighting of arguments and to understand the phase of the delimitation of the problems in political argumentation.
