During the last 15 years, cognitive scientists have discovered
things about the nature and importance of metaphor that are
startling because of their radical implications for metaphor
research and because they require us to rethink some of our most
fundamental received notions of meaning, concepts, and reason. Many
of the theoretical assumptions that guided earlier generations who
worked on metaphor have been undermined by this new research, which
has profound implications for philosophy.
More specifically, the level of methodological sophistication of
empirical studies of metaphor has increased markedly, making
possible rigorous, detailed analyses of how metaphors actually
structure conceptualization and reasoning. In addition,
professionals have learned that metaphor is not merely a linguistic
phenomenon but more fundamentally a conceptual and experiential
process that structures the world. The articles in this special
issue make significant contributions to these advances.
