METAPHOR AS A COGNITIVE PROCESS

Más información sobre el libro

Metaphorical reasoning influences various fields such as art, literature, philosophy, and the natural sciences, shaping how we conceptualize our surroundings. While traditionally viewed as a literary device, some argue that only poets possess the unique ability to create metaphors, inspired by forces beyond their understanding, such as muses or the unconscious. This exploration challenges the conventional perception of metaphor, suggesting it is not merely a tool for refined communication but a fundamental aspect of human thought and creativity.
