In this highly-interdisciplinary volume, we systematically study
the role of metaphors and analogies in (mis)shaping our
understanding of the world. Metaphors and Analogies occupy a
prominent place in scientific discourses, as they do in literature,
humanities and at the very level of our thinking itself. But when
misused they can lead us astray, blinding our understanding
inexorably. How can metaphors aid us in our understanding of the
world? What role do they play in our scientific discourses and in
humanities? How do they help us understand and skillfully deal with
our complex socio-political scenarios? Where is the dividing line
between their use and abuse? Join us as we explore some of these
questions in this volume.
