This article examines the storytelling aspect in philosophizing with rehabilitating cancer patients in small Socratic dialogue groups (SDG). Recounting an experience to illustrate a philosophical question chosen by the participants is the traditional point of departure for the dialogical exchange. However, narrating is much more than a beginning point or the skeletal framework of events and it deserves more scholarly attention than hitherto given. Storytelling pervades the whole Socratic process and impacts the conceptual analysis in a SDG. In this article we show how the narrative aspect became a rich resource for the compassionate bond between participants and how their stories cultivated the abstract reflection in the group. In addition, the aim of the article is to reveal the different layers in the performance of storytelling, or of authoring experience. By picking, poking and dissecting an experience through a collaborative effort, most participants had their initial experience existentially refined and the chosen concept of which the experience served as an illustration transformed into a moral compass to be used in self-orientation post cancer.
本文探讨了在小型苏格拉底对话小组（SDG）中与癌症康复患者进行哲学探讨时的叙事层面。讲述一段经历以阐释参与者所选择的哲学问题，是对话交流的传统出发点。然而，叙事远不止是一个起点或事件的框架，它值得比以往更多的学术关注。叙事贯穿于整个苏格拉底式过程，并影响着SDG中的概念分析。在本文中，我们展示了叙事层面如何成为参与者之间建立同情纽带的丰富资源，以及他们的故事如何促进小组中的抽象思考。此外，本文的目的是揭示叙事表现或创作体验中的不同层次。通过共同努力挑选、审视和剖析一段经历，大多数参与者对其最初的经历进行了存在意义上的提炼，而作为例证的所选概念也转变为一种道德指南针，供癌症康复后的自我定位使用。
