In the last few years, there has been an enormous amount of
activity in the study of analogy and metaphor. This is partly
because of an interest of artificial intelligence researchers in
simulating learning processes using analogy. It also arises from
critical examinations of standard theories in the philosophy of
language, with their inbuilt literal/meta phoric distinction. This
volume consists of recent previously unpub lished work in this
area, with a particular emphasis upon the role of analogies in
reasoning and, more generally, their role in thought and language.
The papers are contributed by philosophers, computer scientists,
cognitive scientists and literary critics. Researchers in these
fields whose focus is the study of analogy and metaphor will find
much of interest in this volume. These essays can also serve as an
introduction to some of the major approaches taken in the
investigation of analogy. As noted, this volume brings together the
work of researchers in several different disciplines. The various
approaches taken with respect to the understanding of analogy tend
to be rather different, however, the articles suggest a common
conclusion. Analogy and metaphor pervade thought and language;
their close investigation thus constitutes a valuable contribution
to our understanding of persons. DAVID H. HELMAN Case Western

want to pursue the following claims: The way we categorize helps
explain the way we recognize a statement as an analogy."
