In this book, Daniel Cohen explores the connections between
arguments and metaphors most pronounced in philosophy, because
philosophical discourse is both thoroughly metaphorical and replete
with argumentation. The metaphors we use for arguments, as well as
the ways we use metaphors as arguments and in arguments, provides
the basis for a tripartite theoretical framework for understanding
and evaluating arguments. There are logical, rhetorical, and
dialectical dimensions to arguments, each providing norms for
conduct, vocabulary for evaluation, and criteria for success. In
turn, the identified roles for arguments in general discourse can
be applied to metaphors, helping to explain what they mean and how
they work. Cohen covers the nature of arguments, their modes and
structures, and the principles of their evaluation. He also
addresses the nature of metaphors, their place in language and
thought, and their connections to arguments, identifying and
reconciling arguments' and metaphors' respective roles in
philosophy.
