How have figures of speech configured new concepts of time, space,
and mind throughout history? Brian J. McVeigh answers this question
in A Psychohistory of Metaphors: Envisioning Time, Space, and Self
through the Centuries by exploring "meta-framing:" our
ever-increasing capability to "step back" from the environment,
search out its familiar features to explain the unfamiliar, and
generate "as if" forms of knowledge and metaphors of location and
vision. This book demonstrates how analogizing and abstracting have
altered spatio-visual perceptions, expanding our introspective
capabilities and allowing us to adapt to changing social
circumstances.
