This book, 'Metaphors We Live By', explores how metaphors structure our understanding of the world. The authors, George Lakoff and Mark Johnson, argue that metaphors are not just rhetorical figures, but fundamental mechanisms of the mind that allow us to understand abstract concepts through concrete experiences. This edition from Ediciones Cátedra, belonging to the Teorema collection, offers a deep perspective on how language and thought are intrinsically linked through the metaphors we use daily.
George Philip Lakoff is an American cognitive linguist and philosopher, best known for his thesis that people's lives are significantly influenced by the conceptual metaphors they use to explain complex phenomena. Lakoff served as professor of linguistics at the University of California, Berkeley, from 1972 until his retirement in 2016.
