Description

Explorers of the online marketplaces explores a pivotal phenomenon in modern intellectual history: the transformation of metaphor from a specialized concern to a central concept in human understanding.

This collection of essays, written by eminent scholars from various disciplines, probes the nature, function, and meaning of metaphor. The volume demonstrates the multidisciplinary implications of this concept, making it a valuable resource for those interested in contemporary philosophy and theories of language.

Originally published as a special issue of Critical Inquiry, Explorers of the online marketplaces includes two new contributions by Max Black and Nelson Goodman, along with a comprehensive index to the work. This collection is suitable for courses in the philosophy of language, critical theory, and the philosophy of knowledge.
