Wisdom & Metaphor

English

By (author): Jan Zwicky

In the foreword to Wisdom & Metaphor, Jan Zwicky observes that those who think metaphorically are enabled to think truly, because the shape of their thinking echoes the shape of the world. Wisdom & Metaphor explores the ways we come to understand the world through analogical structures, and the relation of this form of knowing to conventional epistemology and ontology. Zwicky uses the nature of the book itself, with its facing pages, to create resonant structures of aphorism and quotation which allow the reader to experience the kind of thinking she describes. The author''s wide-ranging influences, coupled with an understated, largely spatial, style of discourse, make this a remarkably original approach to long-standing questions about meaning and language. It offers a unique and compelling argument for the fundamental importance of metaphor to philosophy. See more
