Metaphor is one of the most frequently evoked but at the same time
most poorly understood concepts in philosophy and literary theory.
In recent years, several interesting approaches to metaphor have
been presented or outlined. In this volume, authors of some of the
most important new approaches re-present their views or illustrate
them by means of applications, thus allowing the reader to survey
some of the prominent ongoing developments in this field. These
authors include Robert Fogelin, Susan Haack, Jaakko Hintikka (with
Gabriel Sandu), Bipin Indurkhya and Eva Kittay (with Eric
Steinhart). Their stance is in the main constructive rather than
critical; but frequent comparisons of different views further
facilitate the reader's overview. In the other contributions,
metaphor is related to the problems of visual representation (Noel
Carroll), to the open class test (Avishai Margalit and Naomi
Goldblum) as well as to Wittgenstein's idea of 'a way of life'
(E.M. Zemach).
