The aim of this paper is to discuss a philosophical method based on narrative fiction. I attempt to make systematic, and to give a foundation to, the use of narrative fictions in philosophy. My hypothesis is that narrative fiction opens up the possible as it is required by the philosophical analysis. I start by introducing this hypothesis. I then compare it with the eidetic variation in Husserl's phenomenology. Finally, I oppose a philosophical method, based on this hypothesis, to a philosophy of the ordinary, drawn from the second Wittgenstein.
