It is generally  recognised now that metaphor is not an obfuscation of the truth (as so  many philosophers since Plato have argued); on the contrary, it is  essential that we consider metaphor if we strive for an optimal  understanding of how truth is gained both in science and in our  everyday dealings with reality. Hence, metaphor is not of interest  only for the literary theorists, but for all those who wish to  understand science and how to grasp the structure of our social world.  \u003cbr\u003e  This volume presents eleven essays on the role of metaphor in  philosophy, poetry, semiotics, art, literary criticism, economics,  medical science and in political theory. Through the use of metaphor,  the contributors provide a unique and exciting picture of these  disciplines. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-10-29\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789401048149\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-011-1844-6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 240cm x160cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 213\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44398801223820,"sku":"9789401048149","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789401048149.jpg?v=1775793447","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9789401048149","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
