While a number of recent books have dealt with metaphor from the standpoints of several disciplines, there is no collection that shows the best of the work that has been done in the field of philosophy. Mark Johnson has brought together essays that define the central issues of the discussion in this field.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHis introductory essay offers a critical survey of historically influential treatments of figurative language (including those of Aristotle, Hobbes, Locke, Kant, and Nietzsche) and sets forth the nature of various issues that have been of interest to philosophers. Thus, it provides a context in which to understand the motivations, influences, and significance of the collected essays. An annotated bibliography serves as a catalog of all relevant literature.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003ePhilosophical Perspectives on Metaphor\u003c\/i\u003e provides an entry point into the philosophical exploration of metaphor for students, philosophers, linguists, psychologists, artists, critics, or anyone interested in language and its relation to understanding and experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mark Johnson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0816657971\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780816657971\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Minnesota Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/23\/1981\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.13lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.79d","brand":"Mark Johnson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48086950215935,"sku":"9780816657971","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_95a923cf-6baf-4b78-a493-2fb96f9c5d54.jpg?v=1769097430","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/philosophical-perspectives-on-metaphor-mark-johnson-9780816657971","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
