The Power of Metaphor: Examining Its Influence on Social Life

Herausgeber: Landau, Mark J.

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Explores the possibility that people understand abstract social concepts using metaphor, which from this perspective is not simply a matter of words. Rather, it is a cognitive tool that people routinely use to understand abstract concepts (such as morality) in terms of superficially dissimilar concepts that are relatively easier to comprehend (such as cleanliness).
