Description
Understanding the world around us is deeply rooted in the way we think and express ourselves. George Lakoff and Mark Johnson's influential book, Metaphors We Live By, explores the fundamental role of metaphor in shaping our perceptions and actions. The authors argue that metaphors are not just literary devices, but a fundamental mechanism of the mind that allows us to connect our everyday experiences to a wide range of subjects.
Metaphors We Live By reveals how these underlying metaphors structure our most basic understandings of the world, often without us even realizing it. This updated edition includes an afterword that surveys the development of the authors' theory of metaphor within the cognitive sciences, highlighting its central role in contemporary understanding of how we think and express ourselves.
