More than Cool Reason
A Field Guide to Poetic Metaphor
Book • 1989
In 'More than Cool Reason: A Field Guide to Poetic Metaphor,' George Lakoff and Mark Turner delve into the theoretical and practical aspects of metaphorical thinking.
The book argues that metaphors are not just figures of speech but fundamental to human thought and understanding.
It examines how metaphors such as 'death as departure' and 'life as a journey' are used in literature, particularly in the works of Emily Dickinson, and how these metaphors are rooted in everyday conceptual frameworks.
The authors provide insights into how these metaphors shape our comprehension of complex concepts like life and death.
