Metaphor lies at the heart of the contemporary debate in
aesthetics, semantics and the philosophy of science. It is
generally recognised now that metaphor is not an obfuscation of the
truth (as so many philosophers since Plato have argued); on the
contrary, it is essential that we consider metaphor if we strive
for an optimal understanding of how truth is gained both in science
and in our everyday dealings with reality. Hence, metaphor is not
of interest only for the literary theorists, but for all those who
wish to understand science and how to grasp the structure of our
social world. This volume presents eleven essays on the role of
metaphor in philosophy, poetry, semiotics, art, literary criticism,
economics, medical science and in political theory. Through the use
of metaphor, the contributors provide a unique and exciting picture
of these disciplines.
