Both sides in controversies tend to argue they have logic on their
side. This book proposes that the interminable nature of these
controversies suggests there is a problem with the main tool of
logic, the syllogism. Drawing on contemporary developments in
social theory and philosophy, Stanley Raffel argues that metaphors
are not just aesthetic tools; they can also be used to judge
phenomena. Featuring case studies drawn from both literary material
and current controversial debates, "The Method of Metaphor"
ultimately demonstrates the value of this neglected potential of
metaphoric reasoning and shows its far-reaching implications in
both moral behavior and moral education.
