Description
  1. 305 pages; 24 cm
Summary
  1. Guttenplan puts forward a philosophical account of metaphor much different from those used currently. Powerful and flexible enough to cope with the syntactic complexity typical of genuine metaphor, he offers novel conceptions of the relationship between simile and metaphor and the notion of dead metaphor.
