Narrative knowledge transmits the pragmatic rules that constitute the social bond

Evidence

The knowledge arising from such an apparatus may seem “condensed” in comparison with what I call “developed” knowledge. Our example clearly illustrates that a narrative tradition is also the tradition of the criteria defining a threefold competence —“know-how,” “knowing how to speak,” and “knowing how to hear” [savoir-faire, savoir-dire, savoir-entendre] —through which the community’s relationship to itself and its environment is played out. What is transmitted through these narratives is the set of pragmatic rules that constitutes the social bond. — Jean-François Lyotard, The Postmodern Condition, 200
