An interesting look at the construction and interpretation of metaphor. The articles in this book approach metaphor from the vantage points of neurology, psychology, and philosophy. This book dates from 1987, so the scientific findings should be taken with a grain of salt. Still, it makes for good reading about the uses of meaning. Recommended, if you’re hardcore.
