The Rule of Metaphor : Multi-disciplinary Studies of the Creation of Meaning in Language - Softcover
Synopsis
Paul Ricoeur is widely regarded as one of the most distinguished philosophers of our time. In The Rule of Metaphor he seeks 'to show how language can extend itself to its very limits, forever discovering new resonances within itself'. Recognizing the fundamental power of language in constructing the world we perceive, it is a fruitful and insightful study of how language affects how we understand the world, and is also an indispensable work for all those seeking to retrieve some kind of meaning in uncertain times.

About the book >.>.> This translation was done from the author's manuscript. It diverges at several points from the first edition of La M?taphore zive (?ditions du Seuil, Paris 1975), where errors have been found in that edition, and where Professor Ricoeur has undertaken revisions. In general, I have attempted to translate as literally as possible, in order not to obscure precise points of interpretation, but on the contrary to faci litate the interdisciplinary communication that Paul Ricoeur promotes. So too, to assist further study by readers restricted to English, I have used readily available translations of works originally in other languages wher ever I could. There are, of course, several exceptions to the pattern of literal transla tion. One exception is the title of the book. Uncomfortable with the more literal translations of La M?taphore vive that came to mind, I have offered The Rule of Metaphor because of its metaphorical suggestiveness. The pri mary reference is to Aristotle's assertion, quoted often by Ricoeur, th. Seller Inventory # Batch-FM517-G-11326
