Metaphors We Live By
by George Lakoff, Mark Johnson
About This Book
Metaphor, the authors explain, is a fundamental mechanism of mind, one that allows us to use what we know about our physical and social experience to provide understanding of countless other subjects. Because such metaphors structure our most basic understandings of our experience, they are "metaphors we live by"--Metaphors that can shape our perceptions and actions without our ever noticing them. --from publisher description.
Editorial Note
Reveals that human thought is fundamentally metaphorical and embodied — we understand abstract concepts through physical experience. Permanently changes how you hear language and notice the hidden frames shaping every argument.
