"We are," says Mark Johnson, "in the midst of metaphormania." The
past few years have seen an explosion of interest in metaphor as a
vehicle for exploring the relations between language and thought.
While a number of recent books have dealt with metaphor from the
standpoints of several disciplines, there is no collection that
shows the best of the work that has been done in the field of
philosophy. Mark Johnson has brought together essays that define
the central issues of the discussion in this field. His
introductory essay offers a critical survey of historically
influential treatments of figurative language (including those of
Aristotle, Hobbes, Locke, Kant, and Nietzsche) and sets forth the
nature of various issues that have been of interest to
philosophers. Thus, it provides a context in which to understand
the motivations, influences, and significance of the collected
essays. An annotated bibliography serves as a catalog of all
relevant literature. Philosophical Perspectives on Metaphor
provides an entry point into the philosophical exploration of
metaphor for students, philosophers, linguists, psychologists,
artists, critics, or anyone interested in language and its relation
to understanding and experience.
